How EAT Funds Allergy Research

End Allergies Together (EAT) was founded in 2015 to address the growing food allergy epidemic. The organization raises funds that advance scientific and medical research into this pressing issue. EAT bestows funds in two ways: grants and directed donations. The organization’s Medical Advisory Board relies on an objective grant process to decide how to allocate funds to various research studies. Additionally, EAT advises major donors interested in funding specific scientists or concerns. EAT works with the donors to discuss their priorities, then helps them evaluate costs and determine the right place for the donation. The organization requires a minimum directed donation of $100,000.

To date, EAT has funded numerous studies, including Stanford Medicine’s research into improving safety for the food allergy-asthma syndrome and the University of Chicago’s work in characterizing prebiotic dietary fibers to prevent or treat allergies.
