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's grant program is centered around improving the health, nutrition, and development outcomes for infants and young children through practical and implementable research projects. The Foundation seeks fresh approaches to addressing common problems or emerging issues related to care providers. Projects of interest include those developing new diagnostic tools, treatment regimens with fewer side effects, symptom relief, preventative measures, and nutritional assessments. A significant emphasis is placed on generating applicable results that can lead to a change in practice, rather than projects aimed at educating parents or caregivers. In pediatric nutrition, the Foundation funds applied research assessing specific nutrient supplements and their impact on young children's health and growth.
