Our Grantmaking Priorities

Our grantmaking is intentional and focused—soliciting grants in four pillars guided by our strategic plan.

How We Award Grants

The Physicians Foundation’s Board of Directors considers proposals and awards grants through a solicited Request for Proposal (RFP) process. Currently, we are not accepting unsolicited letters of interest or other unsolicited requests for support. The 2024 calendar below summarizes key events by quarter.
