The Consumer Education Foundation was formed to promote healthy eating, and to help people improve what they eat, how much they eat, and how much they enjoy food. Established as a charitable fund in 1999, it was awarded the status of a tax-deductible foundation in 2005 under its registered name, the Wansink Consumer Education Foundation. Its mission is focused on food-related education, and it helps educate people to be better consumers by supporting a number of types of projects. The Foundation sponsors and administers the National Science Fair Awards, a Consumer Camp in conjunction with the Cornell University Food and Brand Lab, and the Small Plate Movement.
