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 Gerber Foundation offers grants with a primary focus on improving the nutrition, care, and development of infants and young children from the first year before birth to three years of age. The Foundation seeks fresh approaches for solving everyday problems or emerging issues in its focus areas. Projects should improve health, nutrition, and developmental outcomes for infants and young children, aiming for practical, rapidly implementable solutions with clear paths to clinical application. Research grants target new diagnostic tools, treatment regimens, symptom relief, preventative measures, and risk assessment tools for environmental hazards. The emphasis is on applied research to reduce the incidence of serious neonatal and early childhood illnesses or enhance cognitive, social, and emotional development, specifically avoiding projects focused solely on parent or provider education.
