Kettering Family Foundation

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.

Request Summaries for the Kettering Family Philanthropies' next grant cycle will be accepted from January 1, 2025 through January 31, 2025. All non-profit organizations applying must submit a Request Summary through this web portal to be considered for a grant.

Those applicants applying to the Kettering Family Foundation must document on the form with whom from Kettering Family Philanthropies and when, they spoke about submitting a proposal. Request Summaries will not be submitted without this information.
