Mission
​
The mission of the Canadian FAIT Foundation is simple: to help as many Canadian children and families as possible reclaim their freedom, confidence and everyday joy around food.
​​
Food allergies affect more than 3 million Canadians, yet access to treatments like oral immunotherapy (OIT) and sublingual immunotherapy (SLIT) is limited. Too many families are left managing an “invisible” but life-altering condition on their own. The Canadian FAIT Foundation is working to solve this by funding research, supporting clinician training, and helping build a coordinated system of care that reaches every community—regardless of geography or ability to pay.​​
​​
Purpose​​
The purpose of the Foundation is to:
​​
-
Fund groundbreaking research that expands and accelerates access to safe, evidence-based food allergy treatments across Canada.
-
Equip healthcare providers with the knowledge and tools they need to deliver food allergy treatments in their own practices, so care is no longer limited to a few specialized centres.
-
Advocate for equitable patient access to food allergy treatment, ensuring geography, age, or income never determines who gets care.
-
Translate scientific innovation into real-world treatment, so families can move from lifelong avoidance to lasting protection.
