W.K. Kellogg Foundation Food & Community Program
Access to good food and opportunities for physical activity are critical components of improving children’s overall health. For nearly 80 years, the W.K. Kellogg Foundation has used its voice to advocate for equitable access to good food and physical activity, and it has used its resources—more than $230 million—to bring meaningful change to our food systems.
In late 2009, the Kellogg Foundation launched Food & Community, a $32 million program focused on creating healthy places where all children thrive. Investments support local, regional and national collaborative efforts, advancing a variety of community-led approaches on three key priorities: improving school food systems, increasing access to good food and physical activity environments, and fueling the national healthy eating and active living movement.

The Harvard Pilgrim Health Care Foundation
The Harvard Pilgrim Health Care Foundation is an extension of Harvard Pilgrim Health Care's commitment to good health for everyone. They know that it takes more than talented people, premier facilities and a world-class health insurance program to maintain healthy people and communities. Sometimes it takes smart and caring philanthropy to help people who have difficulty getting care and to marshal resources that address new threats to community health.
For more than 25 years, the Foundation has supported leaders and organizations that connect people and communities to care and information. They have done this through the generous giving and volunteerism of Harvard Pilgrim employees; our community grants and sponsorships; training for health care professionals provided by Culture InSight, and the teaching and research accomplished through their unique partnership with the Harvard Medical School - the Harvard Pilgrim Health Care Institute. Since the Foundation was created, Harvard Pilgrim has provided over $110 million to the Foundation for our grants and programs.
