Tips for Applicants
IDFA is not a grant-making foundation but a patient advocacy organization. Those seeking funding should look to government health grants, pharmaceutical company sponsorships, or medical research councils. IDFA may accept partnerships for educational programs or patient support initiatives.
Giving Philosophy
IDFA is a patient advocacy organization, not a traditional grant-making foundation. It focuses on direct support to patients and families through educational programs (like the PIE Program), resources (NDIS guidance booklets), community engagement, and advocacy for newborn screening. It raises funds through donations, membership, events, and fundraising to sustain its operations and member services.
