Donors
Help us build a more equitable field by funding programs that support and elevate nutrition professionals and students of color.
“The demographic profile of [nutrition] practitioners is essentially unchanged since 2007.”
Meanwhile, patients and clients are becoming more diverse.
An ethnically and culturally diverse group of nutrition students will lead to a diverse group of RDNs, creating a profession that can draw on the strengths of all segments of society. Students of color need mentors and resources to navigate the RDN education pathway. RDNs working as educators and dietetic internship directors need resources to attract, educate and train people of color.
Our Mission
To increase the racial and ethnic diversity in the field of nutrition by empowering nutrition leaders of color.
