As one of Children’s most generous corporate supporters, Dean Foods, through the Dean Foods Foundation, was one of the earliest donors to the Children’s Medical Center Research Institute at UT Southwestern – pledging $1.25 million over five years to establish a lead endowment to fund basic science, translational and clinical research initiatives.  The commitment was the largest corporate gift for endowment in the history of Children’s Medical Center Foundation.  As a result, Dean Foods’ support for Children’s currently exceeds $2.5 million.

Dean Foods Co. established Dean Foods Foundation in 2008 to strengthen the company’s ability to provide strategic philanthropic support to national, regional and local organizations working in key focus areas – childhood nutrition, youth leadership and disaster relief.
