W.K. Kellogg Foundation Early Childhood Education Grant

W.K. Kellogg Foundation Funding for Children and Families

The W.K. Kellogg Foundation invests in work that helps children thrive, supports working families, and builds equitable communities. A strong early care and education proposal explains how a specific project will improve outcomes and align with current foundation priorities.

What might funding support?

Qualifying initiatives may address access to early care, family engagement, workforce development, or wider system improvements. Funding goes to approved projects and organizations; it is not an automatic scholarship for individual ChildCareEd customers.

How do you start?

Review the foundation's geographic and program fit, then submit a letter of inquiry through its grant portal. The foundation will advise whether to proceed with a full proposal.

While WKKF funds projects across the U.S., it prioritizes proposals from:

• Michigan
• Mississippi
• New Mexico
• New Orleans

Plan training across your organization

If your proposal includes educator development, explore ChildCareEd's Group Admin training options to organize staff learning. Confirm budget eligibility with the foundation.
