How We Give Back

We believe that well-trained osteopathic family physicians are best positioned to care for their communities. That’s why our primary giving is focused on providing osteopathic residents and new physicians-in-practice with scholarships, grants, awards and resources that promote osteopathic family medicine, leadership and ways it can make a difference in their communities.

Our Latest Initiative

Recognizing the pivotal role early career physicians play, the Foundation has launched a new Family Medicine Forward campaign that seeks to raise $750,000 by 2027. These funds will support ambitious ACOFP programs requiring funding for early career physicians to optimize primary care within communities.
