Support the AAFP Foundation and the
Family Medicine Chapter Alliance
|
|
The AAFP Foundation has many initiatives to advance family medicine including support of residents and medical students, research, and humanitarian programs. One program that you may not be familiar with just got a new name to better describe the work being done. The Family Medicine Chapter Alliance is a way for the AAFP Foundation to collaborate with state chapters of AAFP to support grassroots programs. The program also provides a forum for state chapters to learn from each other by showcasing new and innovative programming. Formerly known as the FMPC or Family Medicine Philanthropic Consortium, the program uses a portion of the “dues check off” – funds donated when AAFP members pay their dues. Those funds go into a pool that is available for grants each year. State chapters and chapter foundations are invited to apply for small grants to fund projects in member outreach, public health, and student and resident projects. Iowa AFP has received several grants through FMCA and look forward to new opportunities in the future!
