WK Kellogg Foundation

The W.K. Kellogg Foundation is a philanthropic organization based in Battle Creek, Michigan, founded in 1930 by Will Keith Kellogg. Initially focused on the health and welfare of children in rural Michigan, the foundation has expanded its mission to enhance health, education, and economic well-being, particularly for children and families in underserved communities.

The foundation funds a variety of programs aimed at promoting child welfare, family support, and equitable communities. Its initiatives include health services, educational support for Historically Black Colleges and Universities and early childhood development, food security projects, and economic development grants. The foundation prioritizes systemic equity and invests in programs that empower communities and promote sustainable development.

Beneficiaries of the foundation's work include children, families, and communities both in the U.S. and internationally. The foundation is supported by the W.K. Kellogg Trust and engages in mission-related investing to align its funding with its values.
