The Doctors Company Foundation reviews proposals on a continuous basis throughout the year. Proposals received after October 15 may be reviewed the following year.

An applicant should submit the following information:

  • 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 that will be carrying out the project.
  • A description of the proposed project that explains its goals, why it is needed, the population it targets, and the kind of change you hope to bring about.
  • Examples of how your project supports our Foundation’s mission to advance and protect the practice of good medicine.
  • 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.

Additional information will be requested of selected entities/individuals as required by the Internal Revenue Service and as deemed necessary by the Foundation. Grant recipients will provide a final report to the Foundation within one month of their project’s completion. The report will give an accounting of how the grant funds were used and of the project’s results.
