Kellogg Foundation's goal is lasting, transformational change for children. As a grantmaker, we recognize that children live in families and families live in communities.

Achieving strong outcomes for children happens by connecting what families need – at home, childcare settings, school, work, and communities. As a foundation, we use a variety of change-making tools – grantmaking, impact investing, networking, and convening. With our support, grantees and partners work together to make measurable improvements in children’s lives.

Our Interconnected Priorities:

A world where:

• All kids receive nurturing early care and education.

• Health care for mothers, birthing people and babies is readily available where they live.

• Good food is a given, along with support for the people who grow it.

• Parents and caregivers land career pathways that sustain their family.

• And where everyone can heal from the harms of racism and contribute to a more equitable world.

We continue to work nationally throughout the U.S. and with sovereign tribes. We also concentrate up to two-thirds of our grantmaking in what we call priority places: Michigan, Mississippi, New Mexico and New Orleans, Chiapas, and the Yucatán Peninsula in Mexico, and in Central and South Haiti. We are committed to working in each of these priority places for at least a generation.

As described above, the LOI offers the opportunity to provide us with key details about your idea or project for funding consideration. After you submit a letter of inquiry, you will receive a response within 30 business days, informing you of the next steps. At that time, we may encourage you to develop and submit a more formal proposal.
