Building strong communities
We bring good to the world through volunteering, financial contributions and food donations.
What giving means to us
We work with what we know best: food. And we use our knowledge and influence to inspire change in the world.
Leading with heart. Making a difference.
Our employee councils in General Mills hometowns — the core places where we operate — help us by proposing new areas of focus and local non-profits to consider for grants.
Speaking of areas of focus, here are some of ours:
Food security: Expanding equitable food access for families in need while alleviating hunger in communities.
Advancing regenerative agriculture: Supporting growers, protecting habitat, and conserving and regenerating natural resources.
Strengthening communities: Creating positive impact in the communities where our employees live and work.
