• The Family Medicine Philanthropic Consortium (FMPC) is a collaborative program of the American Academy of Family Physicians Foundation and the Constituent Chapters and Chapter Foundations of the American Academy of Family Physicians. The Consortium is organized to improve the health care of all people.

    FMPC Membership

    Every AAFP Constituent Chapter/ Chapter Foundation may be a member of the FMPC. There are no costs or requirements for membership. The FMPC offers its members funding opportunities and empowers them to assist in the fulfillment of the mission and goals of the AAFP Foundation.  

    Voting Representatives

    Every Chapter/Chapter Foundation, as a member of the FMPC, has the right to appoint a voting representative. Where a Chapter and a Chapter Foundation co-exist, they shall choose only one voting representative.

    Voting Representatives are encouraged to attend two semi-annual FMPC meetings; in the spring at ACLF, and in the fall at COD. Representatives vote on the FMPC Grant Awards slate, Steering Committee Nominees, and other matters as needed.

    FMPC Steering Committee

    The FMPC is governed by Voting Representatives from each Chapter with an elected 11-member FMPC Steering Committee. The committee transacts business between the semi-annual meetings of the FMPC.

    The Steering Committee is responsible for recommending guidelines, policies, events, and programs to the FMPC; recommending expenditures consistent with the policies of the AAFP Foundation; setting the agenda, and planning the semi-annual FMPC meetings, and serving as reviewers for FMPC Grant Award submissions.
