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.

The work of the W.K. Kellogg Foundation is imbued with these values: 

• We believe in helping people help themselves through the practical application of knowledge and resources to improve their quality of life and that of future generations. 
• We believe all people have the inherent capacity to effect change in their lives, in their organizations, and in their communities. We respect individuals and value their collective interests, strengths and cultures.  
• We believe stewardship requires fidelity to the spirit and to the intent of the founder, and the wise use of resources. We believe in being responsible, prudent, selfless and exercising good judgment.  
• We believe innovation of thought and action leads to enduring and positive change in both formal and informal systems.  
• We value integrity of purpose and action, and believe it is essential to all of our affairs.
