Anopportunitytosay"ThankYou"
My how we've grown!
It’s a testament to the commitment and compassion of our partners, our financial supporters, our volunteers, our board, and our staff. It hasn’t always been easy, but the result of all that effort is undeniably worth it.
And the future promises many opportunities for us to continue our work. I see so much potential to touch more Osteopathic medical students than ever before, to inspire and empower them; to connect our broader professional communities and create lasting partnerships; to help build (and leave) legacies for our future.
Thank you for inspiring us and for joining us in building our Osteopathic future together!

OurGrantsandPrograms
Asthecountry'sleadingOsteopathicfoundation,wesupportthe entireprofessioncoveringallgeographies,specialties,andcareer stages.
The Foundation annually attracts hundreds of grants, scholarships, and award applicants. Our ongoing goal is to increase the number of grant recipients and the amount distributed, which we are able to do with the extraordinary generosity of our donors and the strength and vision of our partners
The success of our awards programs would not be possible without the nominators, who write compelling recommendations in support of students, residents, and physicians for our many awards, as well as the dozens upon dozens of volunteer reviewers who give their valuable time and expertise to ensure a robust and unbiased review process.
We are grateful.
Spotlight: Behind the Scenes
In addition to managing our awards programs, we also help manage grants and scholarship programs for groups like the Advocates for the American Osteopathic Association (AAOA), the American Osteopathic Academy of Orthopedics (AOAO) Foundation, and the Student Osteopathic Medical Association (SOMA) Foundation, through our grants management software platform.

In acknowledgment of the dedication shown by student physicians in their pursuit of making a profound and enduring impact on the medical profession, scholarships serve as a testament to their efforts
To strengthen our commitment to the success of our Osteopathic medical students, we increased many individual award amounts and expanded the number of available scholarships in 2022.
Our donors share the understanding of the significance and have joined us to ensure continuous support for our wide array of programs
Spotlight: The William G. Anderson, DO Minority Scholarship
The American Osteopathic Foundation was proud to recognize a record-setting seven outstanding minority Osteopathic medical students as recipients of the prestigious William G Anderson, DO, Minority Scholarship in 2022 The number of recipients has grown exponentially thanks to a generous million-dollar gift to the endowment fund from The Heatherington Foundation for Innovation and Education in Health Care.
The 2022 recipients were: Rachel Christenson (DMUCOM), Phuong Daniels (LECOM), Nancy Githere (MUCOM), Breyonna Maddox (NSU-KPCOM), Eric Nicolau (WVSOM), Manuel Reyes (VCOM-Virginia), and Yvonne Vigil-Calderon (TUCOM-California)
Created and funded more than 20 years ago by family and friends of civil rights pioneer and Osteopathic trailblazer William G. Anderson, DO, the scholarship recognizes minority medical students who show exceptional promise, strong financial need, and a commitment to addressing barriers and inequities in healthcare

CommunityService
TheFoundationprovidesopportunitiesforOsteopathicprofessionalsto securefundingforprojectsthatprovideaccessiblecareinunderserved communities.
Ensuring healthcare services reach underprivileged communities and populations is crucial for the overall success of healthcare in the United States The scarcity of physicians and limited access to healthcare in these communities significantly hinder disease prevention efforts, leading to compromised health conditions
Through our Caring for Communities Grant program, we offer financial support to exceptional humanitarian initiatives in overlooked communities across the United States We specifically give focus to clinics that enlist the expertise of Osteopathic physicians to serve disadvantaged populations
Spotlight: Health Outreach Prevention Education, Inc. (H.O.P.E.)
Health Outreach Prevention Education, Inc. (H.O.P.E.) provides health services for Hepatitis C, HIV, and other sexually transmitted infections (STIs) in Tulsa and throughout rural Oklahoma, focusing on at-risk populations. More than half of H.O.P.E.’s clients are uninsured, underinsured, or underserved.
Working with several volunteer DOs, the nonprofit organization offers physician services targeting hard-toreach populations through innovative, multilingual strategies such as mobile offices, geolocation using apps, webpage chatbots, and collaboration with community partners such as homeless shelters. H.O.P.E. embraces a philosophy of meeting clients wherever they may live.
Mobile outreach is one way HOPE delivers services to its clients
The AOF Caring for Communities grant, awarded to HOPE in 2022, will be used to provide free testing, treatment, and physician services to underserved and uninsured clients

InternationalHumanitarian Outreach
OurInternationalHumanitarianMedicalOutreachGrantsrecognize andsupportOsteopathicmedicaloutreacheffortsacrosstheglobe.
The Foundation has an almost 15-year history of providing travel stipends to students, residents, and physicians who voluntarily provide medical services to patients in rural and underserved areas across the globe (45 countries so far!)
However, during the pandemic, when international travel was severely curtailed, our board strategically shifted our funding to support international programs already in place and led by Osteopathic physicians, that provided critical services to the communities they served
Through these grants, organizations provided medical relief and services, set up health facilities, and educated healthcare workers so they can provide care to those in need.
Spotlight: New Frontiers Health Force
Celebrating its 25th year in 2022, the New Frontiers Health Force has grown from shortterm relief work to undertaking long-term projects, such as building the Ngoswani Community Health Center in Ngoswani, Kenya
Led by Tonya Hawthorne, DO, and staffed by Kenyan-trained medical professionals, the Center has grown from a small clinic into a non-surgical hospital serving more than 25 villages spread over hundreds of kilometers
The grant is being used to purchase equipment to expand the Center's medical capabilities, decreasing the need to send patients to a hospital more than four hours away.

2022HonorsGala ASoldOutEvent!
The Foundation welcomed a sold-out crowd to our first in-person Honors Gala in three years, gathering to celebrate and honor the Osteopathic profession.
Along with our generous sponsors and the more than 700-strong crowd we raised over a half-million dollars in support of our mission! Every year, these contributions empower the Foundation to accomplish even greater milestones.
During the Gala, we paid tribute to Osteopathic medical students, residents, and physicians with numerous Foundation grants, scholarships, and awards. It was a recordsetting fundraising event, and we are immensely grateful to all the sponsors, underwriters, vendors, and donors who helped make this event happen! We are also thrilled to share that the Foundation raised more than $150,000 during the Gala to create an endowment that will provide scholarships for students who are members of SOMA and fund COM/SOM activities supported by the SOMA Foundation.
