The Foundation is committed to ensuring that our programs remain impactful, sustainable, and aligned with our mission. This year, our Board of Directors will be deeply engaged in a strategic planning process to evaluate our mission, strategic goals, and long-term sustainability.
In order to dedicate the necessary time and attention to this important work, the Board has made the difficult decision to pause our Global Health Studies Grant Program for this year. We recognize that many of you look forward to these opportunities, and we deeply value the passion and dedication you bring to global health. The impact of this program will be carefully considered as part of the broader planning process.
During this pause, we will continue to support non-profit organizations, more specifically, physician-led free health care programs and clinics, with a preference for those that involve medical students. We encourage students to consider how their skills and commitment can make a difference in local programs and community-based initiatives, where the need is great and the opportunities to learn and serve are significant. A directory of free health care programs can be found here: https://www.massmed.org/fhcp_directory/.
We truly appreciate your understanding and continued engagement during this transition. Your dedication to service — whether at the global or local level — embodies the mission and values that guide our work. We look forward to sharing updates with you as the planning process unfolds.
Organizational Grants
Our focus this year will be on providing general operating support to physician-led free health care programs and clinics. We are currently streamlining the application process, and more information will be posted soon.

Foundant – Our Online Grant Management System
In an effort to increase our availability, flexibility and usability, we have implemented Foundant, an online grant management system. Among many benefits
we think you'll appreciate within this system are the ability to control organizational contact information, to draft, save and submit online applications, and to upload documents and reports. Applications or reports will not be accepted via email
or postal mail.
