Values We envision a nation that marshals its resources to assure that all children an equitable and promising future – a nation in which all children thrive. Our Founder The W.K. Kellogg Foundation began with the humble, yet visionary commitments of W.K. Kellogg, who wanted to invest his fortune in the health, happiness and well-being of children. With hometown pride and deep care for the place that raised him, he started by investing in the children and families of Battle Creek, Michigan. W.K. Kellogg cared about children, the conditions in which they were raised and what the future held for them. He believed in the power of communities to forge solutions to the problems facing them and he wanted to equip people with the knowledge and resources to pursue those solutions. Vision, humility and belief in people are the values stewarded by the Kellogg Foundation for more than 90 years. Today those values take shape in our support of community-led efforts to ensure every child and family can thrive, with access to good health care, good food, good education, good jobs and equitable opportunities.
