The mission of the W.K. Kellogg Foundation, "to help people help themselves," was articulated by its founder in 1930. The community-based approach to problem solving fostered by Kellogg Foundation grantmaking since that time is a result of this fundamental principle. Based on experience with grantees operating in hundreds of communitites, the Foundation has learned that when people are provided with the necessary tools, they gain the capacity to make significant change.
A grant from the W.K. Kellogg Foundation is providing eXtension's Families Food and Fitness Community of Practice (CoP) with the necessary funds to establish extensive resources for maintaining good health. eXtension is a source of research-based information from land grant universities from across the United States. eXtension's Families Food and Fitness CoP provides teachers, individuals, families, and health professionals information 24/7 on nutrition and physical activity as well as additional social support to make changes and create better health outcomes.
