2020 Vision
Spread the ripple effect to bring health and happiness to the world.
CHARITABLE GIVING
Since 2010, weve dedicated nearly
$450,000 to organizations aligned with
our mission that are working to make our
vision of a healthy world into a reality.
Some recipients of our charitable giving
include Wellness in the Schools, The
Nature Conservancy, Food for the Poor,
City Harvest, The Fruit Tree Planting
Foundation, Health Corps, Farm Sanctuary,
and many more.

2020 VISION
Today, many people still do not
understand that food affects
everything our health and
happiness, our planet, our future,
and our connection to each other.
This can change.
Our goal is to have the world see
clearly with 20/20 vision that
food changes everything! We
started more than 20 years ago,
and have continued to educate
thousands of students in all 50
states and more than 100 countries
about the vital importance of true
nourishment. In turn, our students
and graduates have gone on to
educate tens of thousands more
people. Together we have created a
ripple effect that is bringing health
and happiness to the world.
Over the past few years, we have
planted more seeds for our 2020
Vision, which will continue to grow
over the next decade. To kick start
the project, weve done several
exciting things:
We have given numerous
scholarships to principals,
superintendents, and food
service directors across the

country, impacting more than

125,000 children by bringing
healthier lunches and greater
awareness to schools.
The Integrative Nutrition
Foundation was established to
fund the 2020 Vision.
In 2011, we gave grants to
support outstanding community
projects initiated by students
and graduates.
In 2012, we presented the Health
Leadership Award to extraordinary
students and graduates of our
program who have created
innovative projects that will
spread health and happiness
throughout the world.

From left: Chelsea Jowell does a farmers market cooking demo; a take-home meal from Back to Basics; Alissa Bilfield shows local youth how to cook.

Recognizing Health Leadership

Our graduates create a ripple effect by serving communities.
As a mission-based organization, the Institute for Integrative Nutrition believes strongly in walking your talk and embodying the positive
change that you want to see in the world. We encourage our students and graduates to take their education and use it to create more health
and happiness among their friends, family, communities, and beyond.
Our graduates represent some of the most creative, powerful agents of change. And we are proud to support exceptional graduates who are
making the world a healthier and happier place. Here are a few examples:

More than $1 million has been

allocated to our 2020 Vision.
And that is just the start of it. We
will continue to work to create a
healthier and happier future for you,
your family and friends, and for the
vision of one peaceful world.
