diversity, inclusion and equity

diversity, inclusion and equity at the W.K. Kellogg Foundation

The W.K. Kellogg Foundation has a long-standing and ongoing commitment to diversity, inclusion and equity -- both internally through our work environment, and externally through our programming. Under our strategic framework we have identified the active pursuit of racial equity, by embracing healing efforts and eradicating structural racism, as an explicit approach of our programming. We value differences among individuals across multiple dimensions including, but not limited to, race, ethnicity, age, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity and expression, physical ability, religion and socioeconomic status. We believe that bringing together staff and other partners with differing backgrounds and life experiences will enhance our ability to increase opportunities for all families and children to succeed.  Building an inclusionary organizational culture means that not only do we count people, but that people count.  And building a culture of equitable relationships means not only do people count, people feel like they belong.  This is the aspiration of the W.K. Kellogg Foundation.
