Our Mission

The W.K. Kellogg Foundation supports children, families, and communities as they strengthen and create conditions that propel vulnerable children to achieve success as individuals and as contributors to the larger community and society. 

Our Vision

We envision a nation that marshals its resources to assure that all children have an equitable and promising future -  a nation in which all children thrive.
