The Family Medicine Philanthropic Consortium (FMPC) is a collaborative program of the AAFP Foundation and the 55 AAFP Constituent Chapters and their Foundations. The FMPC administers grant programs that provide funding to support the philanthropic work of Chapters and Chapter Foundations.
The FMPC Chapter Engagement Pilot Project highlights Chapter and Chapter Foundation activities while supporting FMPC fundraising efforts. Through this new initiative Chapters and Chapter Foundations use storytelling tools to illustrate the good work of the specialty and the amazing work being achieved by physicians (and staff) on the Chapter level.
Please Note: AAFP Chapter or Chapter Foundation may apply for both the Chapter Engagement Pilot funds as well as the FMPC Grant Award.
The FMPC will provide each AAFP Chapter or Chapter Foundation with $750 to showcase a chapter program/activity that connects with one of the three designated focus areas of the FMPC: Student/Resident, Member Outreach and Public Health.
The only requirement to receiving the funding is to complete the application and use storytelling elements in highlighting the impact of the project through an electronic channel of the Chapter or Chapter Foundation choosing and link to the AAFP Foundation’s donation site.
AAFP Chapter or Chapter Foundation need to apply by August 31 to receive funds to support their activities and must complete their promotion and return proof of their activities through storytelling to the AAFP Foundation by January 31 of the next year.
IMPORTANT: PLEASE REMEMBER THIS IS A FUNDRAISING ACTIVITY TO PROMOTE MEMBERS TO GIVE TO THE FMPC.
