Case Study: W.K. Kellogg Foundation achieves faster, more secure grantmaking with Box

The W.K. Kellogg Foundation Delivering social change at scale

The W.K. Kellogg Foundation, a philanthropic organization founded in 1930 that supports children, families and communities with roughly 200 employees across six priority places, struggled with outdated content tools that hindered mobile collaboration and grantmaking. Fragmented storage and shadow IT undermined governance and slowed critical processes.

Adopting a cloud content stack anchored on Box (with integrations to Slack and Trello) centralized content, improved search, and replaced the old Grantee Document Portal, allowing the foundation to decommission SharePoint and cut server costs. Automation and better access controls sped grant workflows, increased visibility for evaluators, and enabled faster, higher-quality funding decisions that amplify the foundation’s social impact.
