How to begin a collaboration with Love Foundation
Love Foundation welcomes relevant collaboration in research, health communication, technology, sexual-health services, referral pathways, and work that advances LGBTQ+ rights. A useful proposal identifies the problem, intended community, location, timeline, responsibilities, available resources, and the practical benefit people should receive.
Before work begins, the team considers mission alignment, information quality, personal-data protection, consent for images and stories, accessibility, and the risk of stigma or unintended harm. Research proposals should also explain ethics review, informed consent, data governance, and how findings will be returned to participating communities.
An initial enquiry does not itself confirm partnership or endorsement. Send the proposal through the central contact route so it can reach the right person. For service pathways, review the clinic directory and current service scope first; this helps partners design appropriate referrals without promising care that a particular location does not provide.
