These Insights were derived from grantee projects: From Battle Creek to Botswana, every Kellogg Foundation project has its own story to tell. Yet even across boundaries of geography and culture, certain commonalities do exist. And taken together, the hard-earned experiences and practical wisdom of Foundation grantees have great value. The categories were created based on an analysis of transcripts taken from interviews with Kellogg Foundation grantees in the United States, Latin America and the Caribbean, and southern Africa. Each category illuminates a distinct aspect of human innovation, and shows how grantees have applied the Foundation’s resources to the problems of people.
