How to Apply for Grants with the J. J. Keller Foundation

The J. J. Keller Foundation prides itself on our established relationships in our communities, allowing our team to lean-in, listen, and understand where funding can make the most impact. While we typically work with organizations with whom we’ve created such partnerships, we welcome new applications and connections all year round and invite you to meet with us directly for further conversation.
