AAFP Foundation: Physician Assistance Program Grant

The AAFP Foundation's Physician Assistance Program provides crucial financial support to family physicians who have experienced uninsured losses due to natural disasters. This program aims to help them restore their practices, ensuring they can continue to serve their communities effectively. Grants of up to $2,000 are available, with funding decisions made by the AAFP Foundation Board of Trustees. This initiative also encourages AAFP members to contribute to relief efforts for their affected colleagues.

NOTE: Grant applications are received throughout the year.
Through this program, grants are awarded to family physicians who have undergone uninsured losses to their medical practices and/or who need help to get their practices up and running again in a time of crisis related to a natural disaster (e.g. hurricane, earthquake, tornado, flooding).
Grants are awarded to assist in the repair and rebuilding process for family physicians that have suffered a financial loss to their medicial practice. AAFP members can also donate funds to help their colleagues who have been impacted by a disaster through this program.
