Kellogg Foundation Sets Grantmaking Record and Announces A New Statement of Mission

The W.K. Kellogg Foundation reported that it awarded nearly $335 million in grants during fiscal year 2006-07 – the largest annual total in the organization’s history and a nearly 17 percent increase over last year.

The organization has also adopted a new mission statement and will soon launch an online public dialogue to engage others in a conversation about this work.

The new mission statement reads:

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.

This mission, along with other considerations that are expected to influence the Foundation’s future work, are discussed in 2007 W.K. Kellogg Foundation Annual Report, which will be available online in mid-January 2008 at www.wkkf.org.
