Vitamin Angels focuses on serving pregnant women, breastfeeding mothers, and children under five who are at risk of malnutrition and do not have access to national health services. To support these populations, we provide annual grants of vitamin A, albendazole, and prenatal multivitamins to qualified local nonprofit organizations – our Program Partners – who want to supplement their existing community healthcare or nutrition services.

We also provide our Program Partners with technical assistance in the form of training and educational materials. Program Partners are required to provide bi-annual reporting at a minimum. Projects can be renewed annually by submitting a simple grant extension application.

Program Partners must meet the following criteria to receive a grant:

• Target “hard to reach” beneficiaries (pregnant women, new mothers, and children under five) who do not have regular access to micronutrient (vitamins and minerals) products from national health services.*
• Have existing programs that serve children under five and/or pregnant women.
• Maintain a local presence and have an intimate understanding of the communities being served. Work with our team to tailor every project to the individual needs of each population.
• Work closely with our team to provide educational materials and training to ensure the distribution of our vitamins is done in accordance with proven methods and consistent with accepted best practices.
• Maintain responsibility for designing, financing, staffing and implementing the distribution of products granted.

In addition to meeting the Program Partner responsibilities listed above, applicants should review all eligibility requirements to ensure they qualify for a micronutrient grant. Additional information can be found on our Corporate Capability Statement.

* Our grants are intended to fill any gaps in supply or coverage of eligible beneficiaries and should NOT displace existing programs or supplies.
