Children are at the heart of everything we do at the Kellogg Foundation. Our goal is lasting, transformational change for children. But we recognize that children live in families and families live in communities. The well-being of children is interconnected with their families and communities. For that reason, our three program priorities — Thriving Children, Working Families and Equitable Communities — are broad areas of interdependent and dynamic work.

Achieving strong outcomes for children happens by connecting what families need — at home, in child care settings, at school, at work and in their communities. As a foundation, we are continually adapting to become more focused and intentional on behalf of children. Our programs use a variety of change-making tools — grantmaking, impact investing, networking and convening — to make measurable improvements in children’s lives.
