mission

The J.C. Kellogg Foundation seeks to provide creative financial support and other assistance to organizations serving a variety of community and educational needs. Typically this is support for a specific program or operating need, that may continue from one to several years. Eventually, however, the goal is to have a program be self-sufficient or develop alternate sources of support.

grants

  • the City of Elizabeth
  • children and education
  • & a limited number of broadly focused charitable organizations.
