Who We Are

The Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics Foundation is the only charitable organization devoted exclusively supporting and advancing nutrition and dietetics through research, scholarships, and other philanthropic programs to enhance public health. The Foundation serves as the philanthropic arm of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics and does not receive any portion of member dues, relying solely on donations to thrive.

The success and impact of the Foundation's programs and services are directly attributed to the generous support of our donors. Their investments have helped the Foundation serve as a catalyst for Academy members and the broader nutrition and dietetics profession, accelerating improvements in health and well-being through the power of food and nutrition and demonstrating the value of nutrition interventions led by credentialed nutrition and dietetics practitioners.
