Evaluation: W.K. Kellogg Foundation Retrospective of K-12 Service-Learning Projects, 1990-2000

The W. K. Kellogg Foundation (WKKF), through its Philanthropy and Volunteerism program area, funded approximately 30 projects related to K-12 service-learning from 1990 to 2000, excluding those grants funded as a part of the Learning In Deed Initiative. This report addresses the 18 K-12 service-learning projects in which WKKF had the largest financial investment. These projects were given approximately $14 million to stimulate activities that would help reach the goal of increasing the quality and quantity of service-learning in the United States. The purpose of this Retrospective evaluation was to describe the collective impact of the WKKF's K-12 service-learning grantmaking in the 1990s, especially with regard to grantees' contributions to service-learning practice and sustainability in the United States.
