  • COVID-19’s disproportionate impact on communities of color comes as no surprise to Dr. David Williams, a sociologist and chair of the Department of Social and Behavioral Sciences at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health. As Dr. Williams notes, this virus is not creating racial inequities in health. It’s simply exposing more people to the lived reality of Black people, people of color and indigenous people. And, he believes that it’s up to all of us to demand a more equitable society. . . . @harvardchansph #WKKF #KelloggFoundation #COVID19 #COVID_19 #Coronavirus #Pandemic #Crisis #HealthCrisis #HealthPandemic #PublicHealth #HarvardUniversity #Education #HigherEducation #Professor #RacialEquity #SocialJustice #RacialDisparities #CommunitiesOfColor #HealthDisparities #Community #CommunityWellbeing #SocialMovement #Hope #Society
  • Supporting the frontline heroes of this pandemic is top of mind for the women of the Southwest Creations Collaborative (SCC) in Albuquerque, New Mexico. For the frontline workers receiving protective gear from SCC, the women entrepreneurs are the heroes of this story. SCC is a social enterprise that contracts women entrepreneurs from diverse cultural backgrounds –– some of whom are immigrants –– to design and sew. They have already produced more than 8,000 masks and 1,000 gowns for the Bernalillo County Department of Emergency Management to distribute to first responders, health workers, transit workers, daycare providers and more.

  • Today is Census Day! Celebrate by completing your 2020 Census so communities can get their fair share of federal funding for child care, schools, special education, school lunches, libraries, transportation and health services. Let’s make sure that we count all babies and children to ensure they have the resources they need for the next 10 years to thrive. When everyone counts, everyone thrives. . . . #WKKF #KelloggFoundation #2020Census #Census #CensusDay #Children #BeCounted #CountAllKids #WeCount #CountMeIn #GetCounted #Philanthropy #Communities #EveryoneCounts
  • Pandemics stretch the resources of communities. #COVID_19 is already affecting some more than others. La June Montgomery Tabron, our president and CEO, says philanthropy has a role in responding.

  • Millions of people are eligible to have their criminal records expunged. Most never do; it requires money, time and the knowledge to navigate court petition processes. That's why Community Legal Services (CLS) of Pennsylvania and Center for American Progress (CAP) developed an automated process to seal minor criminal cases. It’s helping many Americans get their lives back on track. Check out the full story, “Unlocking Opportunities for Justice-Involved People, Families,” in our annual report.
