Sponsor Josiah Macy, Jr. Foundation
Deadlines Applications accepted on an ongoing basis
Purpose The Macy Foundation is primarily focused on domestic health professional education. Proposals are evaluated on the importance of the project and its relevance to the Foundation’s funding priorities; the significance of the project’s expected results and potential applicability to similar situations; and the sponsor’s commitment to continue successful programs after the Foundation’s support ceases. The foundation's funding priorities are:
  • Projects to improve medical and health professional education in the context of the changing health care system;
  • Projects that will increase diversity among health care professionals;
  • Projects that demonstrate or encourage ways to increase teamwork between and among health care professionals; and
  • Educational strategies to increase care for underserved populations.
Eligibility Grants are made only to tax-exempt institutions or agencies; no grants are made directly to individuals. The Foundation does not consider requests for general undesignated support, endowments, equipment, construction or renovation projects.
