Butterfly Foundation
Tips for Applicants
Butterfly Foundation does not appear to operate a traditional grants program. Organizations seeking partnership should explore corporate partnership opportunities via their 'Become a Corporate Partner' page. Health professionals can join their National Referral Database. Researchers may connect through their research publications and policy work. The foundation focuses on service delivery, not funding other organizations.
Giving Philosophy
Butterfly Foundation operates as a service-delivery charity rather than a grant-making foundation. Their focus is on direct support to individuals and families affected by eating disorders, awareness campaigns, and education programs. They prioritize lived experience involvement through programs like Butterfly Collective and Pathfinders speakers network, and emphasize creating inclusive, stigma-free environments. Their theory of change centers on prevention through body positivity, early identification through education, and recovery support through peer-based services.
