The Academy Foundation Disaster Relief Fund was established to support the personal and professional life-rebuilding efforts of Academy members and other nutrition and dietetics professionals and students who have been affected by disasters.
The Foundation offers two funds to support disaster victims: The Foundation’s Life Rebuilding fund and the Foundation’s Commission on Dietetic Registration (CDR) Professional Rebuilding fund.
Academy members, non-member nutrition and dietetics professionals, and dietetics students with an immediate need who have been affected by disasters (declared by a government agency) can apply for up to $2,500 through the Life Rebuilding fund for personal rebuilding efforts and up to $500 through the CDR Professional Rebuilding fund for professional and continuing education activities.
