The Kettering Family Foundation was founded by Eugene W. Kettering, son of Charles F. Kettering, and his wife Virginia W. Kettering in 1956. Today, the Foundation supports a broad range of charitable activities of interest to the Board of Trustees, which is composed of members of the Kettering Family.
Funding decisions are driven by the interests of Foundation trustees and the majority of grants are awarded to those non-profit organizations with which the family has a relationship. While the Foundation is open to receiving Request Summaries from any qualified organization, each applicant must have made contact with the Foundation prior to applying.
The Board of Trustees meets biannually (May and November) to make funding decisions.
All prospective applicants to the Kettering Family Foundation must communicate their interest in applying and discuss their proposal with Foundation personnel prior to initiating the application process. Please send an email to info@ketteringfamilyphilanthropies.org to initiate a conversation.
