Tips for Applicants

This is not a typical grant-making foundation; it operates the GI testing laboratory and educational programs directly. Prospective partners should approach with collaborative research proposals or health promotion initiatives aligned with low GI dietary education rather than traditional grant applications.

Giving Philosophy

The foundation operates as a health promotion organization rather than a traditional grant-maker, focusing on providing research services, educational resources, and a searchable GI database to help Australians make informed dietary choices. Its giving appears to support health education initiatives and may provide grants for glycemic index research or health programs.
