The Herbalife Family Foundation (HFF) announced it has awarded $5 million in grants to 164 nonprofit organizations across 59 countries and territories. The grants, part of the foundation’s Casa Herbalife Program, will provide crucial funding to nonprofit partners dedicated to providing access to nutritious meals, educational resources, and safe spaces for children and underserved communities worldwide.
HFF and its Casa Herbalife Program are fueled and funded by Herbalife’s independent distributors and employees. Their passion and commitment to empowering communities have enabled the foundation to directly support and uplift communities for the past 30 years. This year’s funding is expected to deliver critical support to approximately 200,000 children worldwide.
“These grants go beyond financial aid—it represents a commitment to empowering communities, providing children and underserved groups with the tools they need to create a brighter, healthier future,” said Rob Levy, Herbalife Family Foundation board member and International Managing Director at Herbalife. “We deeply appreciate the dedication of Herbalife’s independent distributors and employees, whose passion and hard work spark real, lasting change in the communities where we live and serve.”
The Casa Herbalife Program, established in 1998 by Herbalife Founder Mark Hughes, began as a single partnership with an orphanage in Brazil. Hughes envisioned a world where every child had access to nutritious meals and safe, supportive environments to thrive. His vision continues to inspire a global network of nonprofit partners including orphanages, schools, hospitals, and community centers that collaborate with HFF to provide sustainable, locally driven solutions to food insecurity and childhood development.
This year’s grant announcement coincides with HFF’s 30th anniversary. Over the past three decades, HFF has honored its founder’s vision by empowering communities and supporting programs that address the unique needs of children and families around the world.
