About

The W.K. Kellogg Foundation is a private foundation established in 1930 by cereal entrepreneur Will Keith Kellogg to improve the health, happiness and well-being of children. Its grantmaking focuses on helping children and families thrive through better education, health, food systems, economic opportunity and equitable communities, with racial equity and community leadership embedded across its work.

Based in Battle Creek, Michigan, the foundation supports community-led efforts in the United States and internationally, providing grants and mission-driven investments to organizations working to strengthen systems for children and families. Its work emphasizes locally developed solutions and long-term change, with current priorities including good early care and education, good health, equitable food systems and family economic security.
