HISTORY AND MISSION

In 1930, breakfast cereal pioneer Will Keith Kellogg donated $66 million in Kellogg Company stock and other investments “to help people help themselves,” launching the W.K. Kellogg Foundation. The foundation began its work in Michigan, but by the 1940s had expanded its work internationally and was breaking ground in areas such as rural children’s health, “mainstreaming” children with disabilities, and the development of the healthcare profession. By its 50th anniversary, the foundation was among the world’s largest private philanthropic organizations. Its mission reflects the foundation’s core priorities of thriving children, working families, and equitable communities, and the dynamic connection between the three.

“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.”

To advance this mission, the W.K. Kellogg Foundation created a framework supported by an innovative matrixed organizational design to prioritize investment decisions and maximize effectiveness toward achieving the desired ends and improvements for children and their families. This new framework supports disciplined choices toward targeted outcomes and stronger alignment across programs. It is a focused and networked approach to strategic programming that relies on close cross-foundation collaboration and agile teams to leverage human capital and knowledge resources to positively impact vulnerable children, families, and communities. Across bodies of work, the foundation implements an array of change-making tools – grantmaking, impact investing, contracting, networking, and convenings – to ensure progress.  A commitment to racial equity, community engagement, and leadership development are woven into each endeavor as essential to the creation of a social context in which all children can thrive, particularly the most vulnerable.

MICHIGAN PROGRAMS & FAMILY ECONOMIC SECURITY

As the W.K. Kellogg Foundation’s home state, Michigan has always held a special place in its mission. The foundation has a focused team whose work in the region is committed to the health, happiness, and well-being of all children in the community. Critical to that effort is having the community fully engaged in its own outcome. The Michigan Programs and Family Economic Security teams are integral in advancing grantmaking that focuses specifically on secure and sustainable employment and economic development in vulnerable communities. The foundation believes that its work must focus on community and civic engagement as well as racial and economic equity in order to create real, systemic and lasting change for Michigan’s children and their families.

Grantee Highlights:

Detroit Regional Workforce Fund (Access for All)

The Detroit Regional Workforce Fund, which is operated by the United Way for Southeastern Michigan, provides workforce training to increase career readiness of Detroit residents. With support from WKKF, Access for All offers Detroiters more than 290 hours of classroom and worksite training in the skilled trades (carpentry, masonry, operating engineers, plumbing, etc.), while also innovatively equipping workers with a “point of access” to skilled trades employment.

Southwest Detroit Business Association

The Southwest Detroit Business Association fosters innovation, drive, and commitment to support the community’s vision for a healthy, vibrant neighborhood. This is accomplished by employing strategies that support existing business and industrial enterprises, enhance the climate for public and private investment and economic growth, and act as a vehicle for cooperative ventures that support economic development in Southwest Detroit. WKKF funding will be used to support the creation of a Small Business Advocacy Center to increase the number of Detroit-based/owned businesses certified to bid on state and federally funded projects and to assist small business hiring by removing barriers to work preventing Detroit residents’ full access to jobs created.

Southwest Economic Solutions

Southwest Economic Solutions strives to provide opportunities for individuals and families to achieve greater economic success and has become a leader in workforce development services. WKKF financial support is providing holistic solutions in workforce preparation, employer services and job placement/retention for Detroit residents who are long-term unemployed and/or who face multiple barriers to equitable quality employment, including high school drop-outs, single parents, returning citizens and others.

Southwest Organizations Unifying Resources for Community and Employees (SOURCE)

The SOURCE is an employee support organization designed to help employees keep their jobs, receive training to enhance their employment, and help employees move into better positions within or across companies. WKKF funding will be used to increase economic security for low-wage healthcare workers in southeast Grand Rapids neighborhoods by providing support for career recruitment, retention and advancement.

WKKF works with industry partners and technical education programs to ensure there are clear pathways to employment for diverse populations. The foundation also supports families in developing a base of financial security that will enable them to support and engage in the education of their children and to save for the future. Additionally, WKKF is committed to helping develop diverse local leaders with influence and who can help leverage other local and national philanthropic dollars.
