Established by Will Keith Kellogg, better known as the inventor of the cornflake and founder of the Kellogg cereal empire, the W.K. Kellogg Foundation was created to help people help themselves through the practical application of knowledge and resources to improve their quality of life and that of future generations. It is a nonprofit organization that focuses on building the capacity of individuals, communities and institutions to solve their own problems. The foundation s grants are awarded in four areas: health, food systems and rural development, youth and education and philanthropy and volunteerism. Its recent grantees have included the Social Venture Network, Denver Health Community Voices and the Academy for Educational Development. The W.K. Kellogg Foundation was established in 1930 and has headquarters in Battle Creek, Mich. During his lifetime Kellogg donated more than $65 million to the foundation, which now receives its income primarily from investments made by its own trust.

The Masonic Temple in Grand Ledge, Michigan, has been a cornerstone of the community since its establishment in 1866, supporting various local Masonic organizations, including the Free Accepted Masons Blue Lodge #179 and the Order of the Eastern Star Chapter #14. With over 150 years of commitment to community service, the temple promotes themes of brotherly love, philanthropy, and personal development among its members. The temple hosts monthly events, such as the popular pasty dinners, and offers hall rentals for gatherings of up to 210 people. As the oldest fraternal organization in the United States, the Freemasons continue their legacy of fostering social relationships and moral teachings through their rich traditions.
