Annual Fund

You can help people—in effective, far-reaching and immediate ways. Every single contribution to the AAFP Foundation Annual Fund, no matter the size, helps a real live person:

• A colleague struggling to reopen his practice in the wake of a natural disaster
• A medical student questioning the value of a Family Medicine career
• A busy family physician participating in practice-based clinical research that can immediately benefit her patients
• Men, women and children around the world who lack basic medical aid and other human necessities we take for granted
