This Foundation does not establish funding priorities on an annual basis, but rather supports worthwhile activities for which an organization has made a compelling case to receive funding. They suggest that organizations select programs for which they can make their best case for support, and for which a small amount of money can have a large impact. With our content, and one-time fee, your school will be getting content that can be used forever. Our content will touch every student that comes through your school almost every single day. Because of this their “small amount” will make a “large impact.”

This foundation concentrates up to two-thirds of their grantmaking in what they call priority places: Michigan, Mississippi, New Mexico and New Orleans, Chiapas, and the Yucatán Peninsula in Mexico, and in Central and South Haiti. Requests that fall outside of their priority places but are still within the U.S. first must focus on systems and policy change and then align with one of their priorities. Their goal at the W.K. Kellogg Foundation is “lasting, transformational change for children.”
Funding our content through our videos (called the “Holiday Pack”), teach students about the world around them and include cultural and religious holidays. These videos can make a “transformational change” by educating students at a young age about the world around them. The more children know about the world, they better equipped they are to be great citizens. If you apply for our “Launch Pack,” which includes how to run a video broadcast, this also applies. Video announcements unify your school, provide leadership opportunities for your students, and can teach every student about the world around them in a positive way.
