Globally and through grass-roots efforts, we support an extensive network of local organizations that are directly benefitting the health and well-being of children and young people in the communities where we live and work.
Our focus areas include:

• Food Insecurity and Malnutrition
• Grow Clinics
• Skills and Services for Disadvantaged Youth

	Food Insecurity and Malnutrition Since 2009, we have worked to address a critical root cause of childhood death and disease, malnutrition. The Morgan Stanley Foundation has partnered with local charities to provide children suffering from food insecurity and malnutrition in the U.S. and abroad with access to nutritious food. Our partnership with Feeding America has helped as many as half of the nation's leading food banks to expand and grow their feeding programs for poor children to provide more than 10 million meals and nearly 50 million servings of fresh fruits and vegetables. Likewise, our partnership with Magic Breakfast has help deliver free, healthy breakfast foods to UK primary schools. Through global employee volunteering, we donate thousands of hours at food banks and food pantries. Our financial support has also funded cutting-edge research to evaluate and improve the effectiveness of child hunger-relief programs.
	Grow Clinics In 2005, we began a partnership with U.S. Grow Clinics — specialty medical centers that provide comprehensive medical, nutritional and social services as well as dietary assistance to children diagnosed with Failure to Thrive (FTT) syndrome. Without intervention, children with FTT can have lifelong learning and emotional disorders and suffer from serious illness.
	Skills and Services for Disadvantaged Youth In February 2013, Morgan Stanley International announced the launch of a new partnership with The Prince's Trust, supporting the charity's work across London and the UK to change the lives of disadvantaged youth. Funding from this partnership with enable The Prince's Trust to establish the Morgan Stanley Centre which will offer thousands of young Londoners training, workplace and social skills.
