The Macy Foundation
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. 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. The Foundation generally cannot support individual institutions in their efforts at curriculum
change, however worthy. The Foundation is a grant making organization and cannot give gifts or make contributions to
capital campaigns. Because the Foundation conducts its own conference program, it does not generally support conferences
of other organizations.
Applications may be made at any time for support of activities consistent with the Foundation’s guidelines. A preliminary
letter of no more than three pages will determine whether submission of a full proposal is warranted.
Funding Priorities
1. Projects to improve medical and health professional education in the context of the changing health care
system;
2. Projects that will increase diversity among health care professionals;
3. Projects that demonstrate or encourage ways to increase teamwork between and among health care professionals;
and
4. Educational strategies to increase care for underserved populations.
While no effort is made to achieve a strict proportion of Foundation activities across the four areas at any one time, an
overall balance is attempted. In addition, they provide useful guidance in assessing the relevance and importance of
grant proposals as well as in determining and designing conferences sponsored by the Macy Foundation.
