Funder Spotlight
Welcome to the Funder Spotlight, a series of interviews exploring the powerful role of philanthropy in Haiti. For our inaugural conversation, it was an honor to speak with Carla D. Thompson Payton, chief strategies and impact officer for program strategy at the W.K. Kellogg Foundation. Carla is a leader in the Kellogg Foundation’s promotion of thriving children, working families, and equitable communities. With a distinguished career in public service and early childhood education, she is a passionate advocate for racial equity and the success of Black women in leadership. Join us as we delve into the Kellogg Foundation’s mission, the commitment to Haiti, and the transformative initiatives of the Pockets of Hope campaign.
