What Diversify Dietetics does

Diversify Dietetics Inc. is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization founded in 2018 and headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia, with a stated mission to increase racial and ethnic diversity in the nutrition and dietetics profession by empowering nutrition leaders of color. The organization serves three primary persona segments: nutrition students of color, dietetic interns, and practicing nutrition professionals of color, with secondary segments including healthcare and food organizations seeking DEI consulting and individual donors/foundations supporting scholarships and operations.

The portfolio of programs is delivered primarily through digital channels built on third-party platforms rather than proprietary technology. The Circle community platform hosts the membership portal with forums, events, and a career center; GiveLively handles donations and event registration; and standard webinar tools deliver the 73+ session content library. Core offerings include a Student Membership ($35/yr) and Professional Membership ($150/yr) tier, a semi-structured Mentor Program running multiple cohorts since 2019, the asynchronous Dietetic Internship Application Support (DAS) Program launched after the 2025 sunset of the in-house Dietetic Internship Program, scholarships and grants (including a $120,000 UDIM x Dairy Council of Florida grant pool for the 2026-27 academic year), the Feed Me the Facts podcast, a job board, the RDs of Color Directory, the annual DD Summit offering 21.5+ CEUs, and a DD Meetup at FNCE plus a 20+ city in-person meetup network. DD Consulting is a fee-for-service arm providing culturally inclusive nutrition expertise to enterprise clients.

Revenue mechanics blend nonprofit and commercial models. Recurring subscription income from memberships is supplemented by transactional event tickets, webinar bundle sales, job board listing fees, project-based consulting revenue, and tax-deductible donations and grants from individuals, foundations, and corporate partners such as the United Dairy Industry of Michigan, Dairy Council of Florida, Red Bull, and POM Wonderful. No revenue figure, funding total, or budget is disclosed in the source data.

Scale indicators5 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights4 records

Direct peers

• National Association of Nutrition Professionals: A professional membership association for holistic nutritionists and nutrition professionals, offering membership tiers, practitioner directories, conferences, and continuing education. Comparable to DD in being a mission-driven, education-and-community-oriented nutrition professional association with annual events and member benefits.
• Oldways: A nonprofit food and nutrition education organization that promotes culturally rooted, heritage-based healthy eating through research, consumer resources, and professional programming. Like DD, Oldways focuses on cultural and ethnic dimensions of nutrition and runs educational programs and convenings aimed at nutrition professionals and consumers.
• Eat Well Global: A nutrition media and consulting company that produces cultural and demographic nutrition insights, content, and educational programming for brands and health professionals. Overlaps with DD Consulting and RDs-of-Color Directory by connecting culturally responsive nutrition expertise to industry clients.

Broad incumbents

• Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics: The largest US professional association for registered dietitian nutritionists (RDNs), serving as the umbrella credentialing body for the entire profession. Diversify Dietetics' FNCE Meetup, DD Mentor Program, and DAS Program all directly operate in the same professional-development and education ecosystem that AND serves broadly.

Emerging players

• Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine: A nonprofit organization of physicians, dietitians, and scientists that promotes nutrition-focused disease prevention through education, advocacy, and clinical research. Shares DD's nonprofit, education-and-advocacy operating model and nutrition-professional audience, though PCRM's clinical-research lens differentiates its focus.
• Food Tank: A nonprofit research and advocacy organization focused on sustainable, equitable food systems, producing articles, podcasts, events, and an annual summit. Comparable operating model — content + convenings + advocacy — to DD's blog, podcast, and Annual Summit, with adjacent content verticals (food justice, equity in nutrition).

Others

• Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics Foundation: The philanthropic arm of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, funding scholarships, fellowships, and research for nutrition students and professionals. Comparable as a mission-driven funding channel for nutrition education, though it operates as a grantmaker rather than a direct program provider like DD.
