In 2007 Kelley created the Mike Kelley Foundation for the Arts with a goal of providing financial support and endowments for innovative art projects. Today, MKFA continues to expand on his philanthropic vision through its annual Artists Project Grant initiative, while also fostering a deep understanding of Kelley’s life and creative achievements through educational initiatives.

The Mike Kelley Foundation for the Arts wanted to refresh their identity and create a multifaceted digital destination that would provide an appropriate stage for Kelley’s dynamic work and legacy, while also serving as a platform for the Foundation and its philanthropic efforts.
Visitors to the MKFA site are a diverse group of enthusiasts, scholars, artists, and Foundation staff. More than just a showcase for the artist’s work, the site also serves as a functional arm of the Foundation itself, where students can learn about available grants, and where awardees of its MKFA Artists Project Grant Initiative are highlighted.
