We provide funding to nonprofit organizations, projects
and programs throughout Northeastern Wisconsin
Over 30 years ago, John (Jack) and Ethel Keller began their philanthropic journey in the Fox Valley area, spanning from Oshkosh to Green Bay, Wisconsin. The J. J. Keller Foundation (JJKF), was established as a private, family foundation committed to supporting the most vulnerable in our community by providing basic needs, enhancing mental health services, fostering innovation, and promoting community collaboration. Their legacy of commitment is visible throughout Northeast Wisconsin, where over $80 million has been invested to build capacity, compassion, and care. Ethel Keller's belief that everyone can contributeβwhether through finances, time, or talentsβcontinues to inspire their ongoing impact.
The J. J. Keller Foundation provides funding to positively impact lives in the greater Fox Valley, from Oshkosh to Green Bay, Wisconsin, with the intent of addressing the needs of the most vulnerable people in our community. Our work supports nonprofit organizations and programs addressing basic needs and mental health. We encourage collaboration and innovation as a means to address complex social issues such as poverty.
