“When we first identified racial equity as a critical component for our work in 2007, it was considered bold and courageous. It gave our staff and partners the confidence to be very intentional.”

- Celeste A. Clarke, W.K. Kellogg Foundation board of trustees

racial_equity_journey

Drawing on more than 90 years of partnership with communities, we recognize that racism is a primary obstacle that keeps children from thriving. For that reason, in 2007, our Board of Trustees committed the W.K. Kellogg Foundation to becoming an effective anti-racist organization that promotes racial equity.

Racial equity, racial healing, leadership development and community engagement are now embedded in everything we do. We refer to these as our DNA, which shapes both our approach to grantmaking and the workplace culture we create.

Our inside-out approach

racial_equity_journey

Since 2007, we’ve understood that we can only make contributions towards a more equitable future if we, as an organization, embrace racial equity at our core. Here’s what our collective journey offers staff:

  • Opportunities for self-assessment, reflection and personal growth;
  • All-staff learning sessions, featuring well-known subject matter experts, community leaders and advocates;
  • Affinity groups that promote cultural knowledge, offer leadership development through peer mentoring and foster community participation;
  • Invitation to participate in a White allies group;
  • Crafting grantmaking strategies through a racial equity lens;
  • Learning to make racial equity a key part of operational decisions.
