The Food Allergy & Anaphylaxis Network (FAAN) established in 1991 by Anne Munoz-Furlong, was founded after Anne’s daughter was diagnosed as an infant with milk and egg allergies.  Anne found that information that was key to raising a child with food allergies was not readily available.

Today FAAN has 25,000 members worldwide that includes dietitians, families, nurses, school staff, physicians and representatives from government agencies and the food and pharmaceutical industries.  


Kids With Food Allergies (KFA) is a nonprofit, national food allergy organization.  KFA is dedicated to fostering optimal nutrition, health and well-being of kids with food allergies.  KFA provides education as well as a support community for families and caregivers of children with food allergies.


The Food Allergy Initiative (FAI) was established in 1998 by concerned parents as well as grandparents.  The goal of FAI is to fund research seeking a cure to improve both diagnosis and treatment; and to keep patients safe with education and advocacy.  FAI merged with The Food Allergy Project in 2009 creating the largest private source of funding for food allergy research in the United States of America.
