Diversify Dietetics

As we kick off the new year, we want to take a moment to send a huge THANK YOU to this incredible community! With your support, we have raised an amazing $26,875 during our Fund the Future 2025 campaign. What’s even more incredible? On December 30, we were at $15,417—and in just two days, this community rallied to raise more than $11,000 before the campaign ended. While we didn’t quite hit our $30,000 goal, that final push is a testament to the power of this community. Your generosity, shares, and belief in our mission made all the difference, and we are so grateful for every single one of you. Your support will help us: - Pair dietitians of color with mentors who understand their journey. - Provide professional development opportunities that open doors. - Highlight diverse RD pathways and amplify representation in the field. - Shake up the status quo in the field! We can’t wait to show you the impact of your generosity. Thank you for helping us make this work possible. Here's to more growth, more support, and more diversity in nutrition in 2025!
