The Doctors Company Foundation reviews and decides upon proposals throughout the year. At least 3 months is required to complete the review and arrive at a decision. Proposals received after October 1 may be reviewed in the first quarter of the following year.
An applicant should provide the following information:
- A copy of the IRS Determination Letter documenting your organization's 501 (c) (3) non-profit status.
- A cover letter signed by an authorized officer of your organization.
- A statement that outlines your organization’s history, mission, and goals and includes background information on the staff carrying out the project.
- A description of the proposed project that explains its goals, why it is needed, the population it targets, and the changes you hope to bring about.
- Explain how your project supports our Foundation’s purpose to support patient safety research, forums, education, and pilot programs.
- An explanation of how the resulting research or data will be used.
- A detailed budget for your project that includes the funds you are requesting from the Foundation and other sources of project funding.
- It is the policy of The Doctors Company Foundation that grants will fund only the direct costs associated with a project or study as identified and specified in the budget submitted with the grant application. Grants will not fund the indirect costs related to the sponsoring organization’s overhead.
- A timeline that includes scheduled benchmarks and your project’s anticipated end date.
- Grant recipients agree to provide a final report to the Foundation within three months after the project's completion. The report will give an accounting of how the grant funds were used and a summary of the project's results and/or conclusions. Any unused funds must be returned to the Foundation and may not be retained for other use.
- Multi-year grantees will provide this report at the end of each grant year.
- Additional information may be requested as required by the Internal Revenue Service and as deemed necessary by the Foundation.
