American Academy of Family Physicians Foundation invites applications for free clinics grant program

The American Academy of Family Physicians Foundation (AAFP) advances family medicine through philanthropy, using humanitarian, educational, and scientific programming to improve health.

To that end, the AAFP invites applications for its Family Medicine Cares USA program. Launched in 2011, this humanitarian initiative helps fund free clinics in the United States, with AAFP member physicians serving in a leadership role. Grants of up to $25,000 will be awarded to support new and existing clinics that exhibit a primary care focus to support the purchase of tangible items, such as exam tables, EHR systems, and medical equipment.

To be eligible, applicants have opened or will open within six months of the application deadline date; have received or are in the process of receiving the National Association of Free and Charitable Clinics Seal of Excellence; will provide or are providing services at no cost to uninsured and medically underserved patients; and have an AAFP member family physician who maintains ongoing involvement with patient care at the clinic.

For complete program guidelines and application instructions, see the AAFP website.

Deadline: July 15, 2022 7:00 p.m. CT
