We help people feel included by championing fun as a way to share our true-self and connect with others.
M&M’S is a chocolate brand on a mission. We believe in championing the power of fun to create a world where everyone feels they belong.
We’ve been a fun brand for a long time, but now it’s time to take that FUN to the next level. Make it meaningful. Make it powerful. Make it a movement.
A movement that unites the masses by inviting everyone to be part of something bigger than just fun for fun’s sake. After all, fun is meant to be inclusive, for all.
Better yet, for all Funkind. This is our rallying cry to drive a global movement to remind people everywhere that, despite our differences, we all belong to a community of humans that share one simple and powerful thing in common: fun.
To foster this world of belonging, M&M’S® has also launched The M&M’S FUNd which is a global initiative intended to track the brand’s impact on its mission to increase the sense of belonging for 10MM by 2025.
The M&M’S FUNd provides resources, mentorship, opportunities and financial support in the arts and entertainment space to help ensure people have access to experiences where everyone feels they belong.
Because together, we can make this a reality for all Funkind.

Super Bowl
Our Super Bowl campaign brought the fun back into the conversation in a new way. While there were many twists and turns along the journey - especially as the spokescandies took the chance to explore other passions - our purpose remained at the core, bringing us all together to share in laughter and fun.
To celebrate the official return of the M&M'S® spokescandies, the brand doubled down on its most recent initiative: supporting women who are flipping the status quo. The brand increased the number of $10,000 grants offered to change-making women from 10 to 20, putting the "fun" in funding their initiatives while increasing the opportunity for trailblazing women to champion a positive impact on society. The winners were identified in partnership with the M&M'S FUNd Advisory Council and spotlighted across M&M'S digital and social platforms on International Women's Day (Wednesday, March 8).
