About the School Nutrition Foundation

Background

Established in 1964 as the School Food Service Foundation, the Foundation officially changed its name to the School Nutrition Foundation in July 2007.

The Foundation, a 501(c)(3) organization, focuses on its comprehensive financial aid program, professional development programs, educational materials and timely research in school foodservice.
