Transforming Lives Across Northeast Wisconsin
What began as a birthday gift to Ethel Keller in 1990 has grown into a beacon of social impact throughout Northeast Wisconsin. Combining Jack Keller’s vision with Ethel Keller’s heart, the J. J. Keller Foundation annually helps over 200 nonprofit organizations change lives by providing funding to organizations, projects and programs that address the needs of the most vulnerable in our community, with a special emphasis on the causes and consequences of poverty and mental health.
Our Mission
To provide funding to organizations, projects and programs that address the needs of the most vulnerable in our community, with a special emphasis on the causes and consequences of poverty and mental health.
There is no greater gift on earth than the ability to give to others. 
Funding Priority Areas
The J. J. Keller Foundation began its impact by partnering with organizations primarily in the Greater Fox Cities area.
As community needs have increased, the service area in which grants are administered expanded to a 5-county region:
Outagamie, Winnebago, Calumet, Waupaca, and Brown Counties.
