The W.K. Kellogg Foundation envisions a world where every child and family has a clear path to success, shaped by the people and communities around them. This vision includes accessible and nurturing early childhood education, local and dependable maternal and infant healthcare, strong food systems supported by and for the community, sustainable career opportunities for parents and caregivers, and collective healing from the harms of racism. The Foundation shares a deep commitment to equity and believes that real, lasting change comes from within communities themselves.
They are looking to support those who are actively working to make this vision a reality through innovative, community-driven solutions. Whether through grassroots organizing, local systems change, or creative problem-solving, the Foundation wants to hear from changemakers whose work is grounded in the values of justice and self-determination. Their grantmaking spans across the United States, with long-term commitments in Michigan, Mississippi, New Mexico, and New Orleans, as well as international work in Chiapas and the Yucatán Peninsula in Mexico, and in central and southwest Haiti.
While the W.K. Kellogg Foundation supports a wide range of initiatives aligned with its mission, there are specific exclusions. They do not fund individuals, capital investments such as buildings or infrastructure, or political activities including support for parties or candidates. Their focus remains firmly on collective, community-led change that builds a more equitable future for children and families.
