The Hopper-Belmont Foundation encourages individuals and families to make a positive impact in improving health outcomes by supporting young passionate talent who have the drive to make a difference.
The genesis of the Foundation was the merger of two families - the Hoppers and the Belmonts. Dr Paul F Hopper was a globally recognized innovator in the world of health and nutrition, being asked to lead the Food and Drug Administration by President Carter - which Paul turned down to lead other opportunities like the World Food Prize and various health and nutrition industry groups. Gloria Belmont Hopper was the 10th of 12 children born to Anthony and Philomena Belmont - who epitomize the American dream of rags to riches through hard work, education, faith, and high moral standards. Importantly, both families gave rise to generations that in various ways support the belief that everyone can help make a difference - especially in health and wellness.
