How To Apply for a Grant (at the kellogg foundation)

The Kellogg Foundation is able to fund only a very small percentage of the requests it currently receives. Many requests are declined, not because they are lacking in merit, but because they do not match our current programming interests or programming guidelines.

We prefer that grant applicants submit their pre-proposals electronically by using the Foundation’s online application at www.wkkf.org/ApplyOnline. Grant applicants who are not able to apply electronically should submit a pre-proposal document of less than five pages, containing the following information:

At this preliminary stage, personal visits to the Foundation by prospective grantees are discouraged.

The Foundation will give prompt consideration to all pre-proposal submissions. The initial review may take up to three months to complete. If the proposal project falls within the Foundation’s priorities and available resources, applicants may be asked to develop a more detailed proposal.
