The American Dietetic Association Foundation (ADAF) is the world's largest charitable organization devoted exclusively to nutrition and dietetics. ADAF is the philanthropic arm of the American Dietetic Association and 501(c)3 charity. The ADA Foundation focuses on three initiatives: Scholarships, Healthy Weight for Kids and Food & Nutrition Research.
NHDA supports ADAF and an annual NH scholarship- administered by ADAF in honor of Judith Duffy Clark and Helen Evangeline Gilson and accepts donations year round. At the recent Fall meeting held by NHDA, over $500 was raised through a Silent Auction, Lucky "Ten Buck" Duck and 50/50 raffles. Thanks to all who contributed through donation and participation.
