SPOON Foundation

SPOON Foundation is a Portland nonprofit that helps children with disabilities and children without family care access nutrition and feeding support. It trains professionals in health systems, care facilities, and communities to identify children at risk, feed them safely, and monitor their care. Its digital Count Me In app assesses feeding difficulties, developmental delays, anemia, and other concerns while helping professionals plan and track support. SPOON also uses assessment data, partnerships, and expertise to advocate for policy and systemic changes that make services more inclusive. The organization works through existing services rather than distributing food or building separate programs, and its programs have reached 26 countries, including Uganda, Zambia, Vietnam, and the Philippines. It is based in Portland, Oregon.
