Who We Are
Overview
The W.K. Kellogg Foundation was established in 1930 by breakfast cereal pioneer W.K. Kellogg. During his lifetime, he donated $66 million in Kellogg Company stock and other investments "to help people help themselves."
The Foundation receives its income primarily from the W.K. Kellogg Foundation Trust, which was set up by Mr. Kellogg. The Trust continues to own substantial equity in Kellogg Company, in addition to its diversified portfolio. While Kellogg Company and the Kellogg Foundation have enjoyed a long-standing relationship, the Foundation is governed by its own independent Board of Trustees. The Foundation receives its income primarily from the Trust’s investments.
Over the years, the Kellogg Foundation’s programming has evolved, striving to remain innovative and responsive to the ever-changing needs of society. Today, the organization ranks among the world’s largest private foundations. Grants are awarded in the United States, Latin America and the Caribbean, and southern Africa.
