The Bezos’ pledge includes a $250 million one-to-one challenge, building upon their initial matching gift of the same amount made in September 2024. As leaders of the Bezos Family Foundation, the couple has committed to matching gifts to CNF up to $500 million.

CNF, established in 2023, aims to bolster nutrition programs in 63 priority countries, primarily in Africa and Asia. The fund focuses on building resilient and sustainable national nutrition systems. The World Bank estimates that an additional $13 billion per year over the next decade is necessary to address global undernutrition.

Miguel Bezos emphasised the urgency of the situation, stating, “The need is so great that no one alone can meet the urgent nutrition needs of the world’s women and kids. But we want to accelerate the change and invite others to join us in donating to the CNF. We will match each dollar donated to the CNF up to $500 million.”

He further stressed the importance of collective action, saying, “The need is now. But we have the solutions now too. In the CNF, we have the tools to meaningfully improve the nutrition and lives of women and children globally. We just need to band together to do it immediately”
