This section of the website is dedicated to those organisations who are currently involved in or are establishing a partnership arrangement with the Ilhan Food Allergy Foundation.

If you wish to contact the Foundation in order to discuss a partnership arrangement, please contact us.

Who can apply

The Foundation only provides grants to agencies it has selected to partner.

• Please do not submit unsolicited grant applications, as we will be unable to respond to these requests.
• When the Foundation is considering a project, we will invite the organisation to submit an application - once you have been invited to apply, please use our application documents.

The Board will consider applications three times a year. Invited organisations will be given details of:

• When to submit applications by, and
• When the Board will be able to consider these applications.

What to include in your application
