Kettering Family Philanthropies (KFP) - Kettering Family Foundation (KFF)

01/31/19

03/15/19

Grants to USA nonprofit organizations and government agencies for activities that benefit communities across a broad range of areas, with an emphasis on geographic locations where family members of the Funding Source reside. Request summaries are due prior to the submission of full proposals. Priority areas include arts, culture, humanities, education, environment, health and medical, human services, and public and society benefit.

The Foundation trustees have historically approved grants in those areas where Kettering family members reside. At the same time, 90%+ of the grants approved in recent years have been trustee endorsed, some of which are in areas that may be located outside of family residence areas.  Family members live throughout the United States, but there are larger concentrations between New York and New Hampshire, in addition to Colorado. 

GrantWatch ID#: 181847

Requests for multi-year grants are rarely considered.
