The mission of The Gerber Foundation is to enhance the quality of life of infants and young children specifically in the areas of nutrition, care, and development. The Foundation prioritizes projects that benefit young children from birth to three years of age.
The grant program from The Gerber Foundation emphasizes applied research aimed at solving common health and nutritional issues in infants and young children. It seeks innovative projects offering meaningful advances in the prevention and treatment of diseases with broad applicability. The Foundation supports practical solutions aimed at improving care providers’ ability to enhance health, nutrition, and developmental outcomes. Priority is given to projects introducing new diagnostic tools, treatment regimens, symptom relief methods, preventative measures, and risk assessment tools for environmental hazards, intended to change practice rather than disseminate current information. Additionally, The Gerber Foundation offers grants focused on youth programs within certain areas of West Michigan and provides college scholarships for students in specific counties, aiming to support education beyond high school.
