Our founder W.K. Kellogg set forth a formula for change that relies on the leadership and authentic engagement of local community members. He said “…it is only through cooperative planning, intelligent study and group action – activities on the part of the entire community – that lasting results can be achieved.”

This formula, paired with a recognition of racism’s powerful and lasting effect on the lives of children, their families and communities, guides how we support and work alongside grantees and partners. Embedded within all we do are commitments to advancing racial equity and racial healing, to developing leaders and supporting communities in solving the problems they face.
