Peter R & Cynthia K Kellogg Foundation
At a glance
This funder does not accept unsolicited applications. The foundation chooses the organisations it funds itself.
Key takeaways
- This foundation does not accept unsolicited requests and makes contributions only to organisations it has preselected, so a cold proposal is unlikely to be considered and should not be sent.
- If your organisation is already in contact with the foundation or has been invited to apply, follow that invitation and its terms.
- A news report links the foundation to pre-kindergarten grantmaking in New York, which may help an early-childhood provider judge how close its work is to the foundation's known interests, though the filing does not state its full priorities.
- Its annual giving has risen in each year reported, reaching $9,216,875, but no grant range is stated, so any request should be sized to your organisation's own needs rather than to that total.
Overview
Peter R & Cynthia K Kellogg Foundation is a US private foundation based in New York, NY.
What they fund
Profile derived from the foundation's IRS Form 990-PF filings (TY2024, TY2023, TY2022) and web pages about the foundation (cityandstateny.com), with every statement checked against those sources. Sources read on 7 October 2026.
Priority Areas
A news report, describing a map of early-childhood grantmaking, identifies the foundation as giving the most grants related to pre-kindergarten in New York. Its filings describe grants generally as assistance to donee organisations in their exempt functions, without naming recipients or specifying their purposes. The available evidence therefore identifies pre-kindergarten grantmaking in New York but does not establish a broader programme, the kinds of organisations selected, the populations its giving is intended to serve, or its full priorities. The foundation makes contributions only to preselected charitable organisations and does not accept unsolicited requests.
How to apply
Contributions are limited to preselected charitable organisations; unsolicited requests are not accepted. No further application steps are stated.
Officers and directors
- Marguerite R Gorman — Treasurer
