The Family Medicine Forward campaign will raise $750,000 to elevate the Foundation's impact on the osteopathic profession. This initiative will enhance programs like the Future Leaders Conference and increase engagement for residents and early career physicians through year-round programming, mentorship, and networking opportunities. 

The Forging Our Osteopathic Future campaign raised $2 million for the Forging Our Osteopathic Future Campaign, which helps ensure the future of osteopathic distinctiveness, primarily through support for examination fees and travel for residents. We welcome the continued support of the Forging Our Osteopathic Future campaign.

Hear from our community:

“I support the work of the ACOFP Foundation because, as a medical student, I was provided significant assistance by many members of the ACOFP, and I want to give back to the organization that supported me. With their help I was able to become a successful osteopathic family physician, and I am able to assist the next generations to achieve the same level of osteopathic success.”
