Mission and programs · 2024

Mission

To promote alignment and collective action on vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients across sectors by bridging nutrition science, policy, programs, and responsible business practices for health and well-being.

Activities or mission (Part I)

The Micronutrient Forum promotes alignment and collective action on vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients across sectors by bridging nutrition science, policy, programs, and responsible business practices for health and well-being.

  • The Micronutrient Data Innovation Alliance (DInA) co-organized a regional meeting with the Learning Network on Nutritional Surveillance and the Anaemia Action Alliance to discuss and learn how better use of data can lead to more effective assessment of the multifactorial determinants of Anaemia in Africa. To advance national and regional efforts, DInA launched the Manifesto for Accelerated Action on Large Scale Food Fortification and makes critical fortification data widely available to inform national policy and program decisions through the Global Fortification Data Exchange (GFDx).

    Expenses $1,738,445 · Grants $401,457

  • The Healthy Mothers Healthy Babies Consortium (HMHB) hosts two Technical Advisory Groups composed of renowned scientists who continue to publish new evidence and guidance documents on maternal nutrition interventions: Multiple Micronutrient Supplements (MMS) and balanced energy-protein supplements. Among others, new outputs included guidance on Implementation Science and the use of MMS in Anaemia treatment. The 2nd Africa Maternal Nutrition and MMS meeting in Kenya, co-hosted with Kenya's State Department of Public Health, engaged over 130 leaders from 17 African countries in a dynamic sharing of experiences, and resulted in a Call to Action urging leaders to scale up maternal nutrition interventions, notably MMS as part of antenatal care services.

    Expenses $1,080,213 · Revenue $108,955

  • The Standing Together for Nutrition Consortium (ST4N) published the Global Resilience Report in partnership with UNICEF and the World Food Programme, which summarizes the impact and lessons of the poly-crisis of the COVID-19 pandemic, conflicts, and climate events, leading to crucial policy recommendations to safeguard nutrition during future crises. To support ST4N in collating and generating the evidence on the linkages between the climate and nutrition crises and policy solutions, a new multidisciplinary Steering Committee was formed. An overview of evidence and policy messages was presented at an I-CAN meeting at the Rome Nutrition Week, the Committee on World Food Security (CFS 52), and the UN Climate Change Conference (COP 29).

    Expenses $317,959 · Revenue $16,244

  • For Child Diet, a Regional Dialogue on Improving Access to Locally Produced, Nutritious and Safe Complementary Foods brought together 100 local producers, policy and regulatory authorities, funders and social impact investors, and technical organizations. Priorities for collective action were identified to overcome regulatory, finance, market, and demand barriers, and the African Network of Local Producers was initiated.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us. Earlier years are each on their own filing page.

Nonprofiteer parses Forms 990, 990-EZ and 990-PF, in a window of recent tax years. These returns are recorded from the IRS e-file index, so their figures were extracted by that index rather than read from the return here — treat them as a different source from the filings above, not as more of the same record. A dash means the index carries no figure; Form 990-T listings carry none at all.

Other IRS files

Auto-Revocation List

Not listed. The IRS publishes this list for organizations whose exemption was automatically revoked for failing to file for three consecutive years.

Publication 78

Listed as of 13 October 2026, under deductibility PC.

These are two separate IRS files on two separate schedules, shown as published and not reconciled with each other. Neither is a statement about whether a contribution is deductible today: 19,245 organizations appear in Publication 78 while the IRS's own revocation file lists them as currently revoked, more than half of those revoked before 2019. Absence from Publication 78 is evidence of nothing, and presence is not evidence either. Verify current status with the IRS before relying on it.
