Kelloggs Community Donations Fund

Overview

The Kellogg Company globally has a long history of social responsibility. They believe that helping communities around the world, through the donation of food, funds and time makes good sense for their business and is the right thing to do.

Through the Kelloggs Corporate Citizenship Fund over the past five years, Kellogg’s globally has contributed more than €110 million in cash and products to support social responsibility and the communities in which they operate.

In 2006 they contributed more than €6 million in cash and €15 million in product to various charitable organisations around the world. W.K. Kellogg's vision of corporate social responsibility also led to the establishment of the W.K. Kellogg Foundation, which, although legally separate, is Kellogg Company's largest stockholder. www.wkkf.org

(The W K Kellogg Foundation only funds in United States, Souther Africa and Latin America and the Carribbean)

Roughly one-quarter of all the company's dividends are distributed by the Foundation to philanthropic development.

In 2006, Kellogg paid more than $100 million in dividends to the Foundation. Since its establishment in 1930, the Foundation has made grants totalling more than $1 billion to a wide variety of quality of life improvement projects around the world.

Supporting communities in Ireland The Kellogg Company of Ireland supports a wide range of charities and community projects every year through its Community Donations Fund and Active Lives Programme.

All requests for donations are assessed against a number of key criteria including, the number of beneficiaries, the value of the request in relation to the total size of the project and the nature of the fundraising activity itself - they give preference to activities that promote healthy, active lifestyles in Ireland, with a particular emphasis on children.
