Putting Marilyn Brachman Hoffman’s Vision Into Practice
The Marilyn Brachman Hoffman Foundation supports research into Multiple Chemical Sensitivity (MCS) and improves access to reliable information about air quality and health.
Multiple Chemical Sensitivity (MCS)
Supporting Research Where More Answers Are Needed
Multiple Chemical Sensitivity (MCS) affects millions of people, but our understanding of the condition is still evolving. Researchers, healthcare professionals, and those living with MCS need strong scientific evidence to guide healthcare decision making. We support scientific research to uncover the underlying causes of MCS and guide diagnosis and treatment. MCS is closely related to other concerns such as fragrance sensitivity and mold-related illness.
Air Quality
Understanding the Air Around Us
The air we breathe, both indoors and outdoors, profoundly influences our health. Yet, much of what is already known about air quality has not reached our everyday conversations or into the healthcare setting.
The Foundation works to make reliable information about indoor and outdoor air more accessible. By encouraging greater understanding of how air quality affects health, we support informed decisions, stronger public awareness, and better conversations between individuals and their healthcare professionals.
Research Philosophy
A Thoughtful Approach to Research Support
Research supported by the Foundation is guided by scientific integrity, careful evaluation, and long-term thinking. Every opportunity is considered through the lens of Marilyn Brachman Hoffman’s vision, with an emphasis on supporting work that will make a meaningful difference to people suffering with Multiple Chemical Sensitivity.
Education & Knowledge Sharing
Making Reliable Information Easier to Access
Supporting research is only one part of the Foundation’s work. Sharing trusted information is equally important.
