Mission: The FPIES Foundation is dedicated to overcoming the challenges of FPIES by offering tools for education, support, and advocacy to empower families and the medical community.

Results: In our first year, we applied for and received our official 501(c)(3) tax-exempt status from the IRS, allowing us to further expand our programs and services for the FPIES community at large. We have created an interactive website. It is packed with FPIES resources for medical professionals and families alike, once more supporting our mission of FPIES education and awareness. Our database of FPIES-friendly medical professionals is a keystone to our web offerings. We have partnered with our esteemed Medical Advisory Board to create an in-depth Q&A. This document provides medically responsible answers to questions asked by the FPIES community.
