Unleashing New Resources

Unleashing New Resources and Approaches for Philanthropy and Volunteerism

 

The Kellogg Foundation defines philanthropy as the giving of time, money, and know-how to advance the common good. Philanthropy and volunteerism grant making at the W. K. Kellogg Foundation is aimed at increasing the ranks of new givers and nurturing emerging forms of philanthropy. Through program activities, the Foundation seeks to unleash resources by supporting the emergence of new leaders and donors, creating and sharing knowledge, and building tools that advance the effectiveness of the philanthropic sector.

The new forces surrounding philanthropy....
The new faces of philanthropy.
The new forms of philanthropy...

This work of unleashing new resources involves fostering numerous types of interconnections among the groups. The aim is to create a marketplace of ideas, techniques, and actions supported by collaborative leadership efforts.

The challenge is to broker ideas, relationships, and opportunities. The Foundation hopes that strengthening and connecting groups of individuals and organizations will result in improved knowledge and new philanthropic resources that will greatly increase giving and volunteerism in the coming years. The objective is to multiply resources – both financial and human – that are dedicated to improving the collective lives of citizens and advancing the common good.  Visit the W. K.
