What is the relationship between the W.K. Kellogg Foundation and the Kellogg Company?
Both the Kellogg Company and the W.K. Kellogg Foundation were established by cereal industry pioneer Will Keith Kellogg, and the assets of the foundation originally consisted of Kellogg Company stock. Our assets still include Kellogg Company stock although our portfolio is now diversified. Each organization has always been completely independent of the other. Each is directed by its own board of directors, and each has its own distinct goals. Helpful?
