MOA Fundraising, Grants and Giving
The Michigan Osteopathic Association is able to continue its mission because of the support and generosity of our members and partners. By contributing to a campaign listed below, you can help ensure that our work continues. Online donations are quick and easy using our secure credit card forms. We welcome donations of all sizes, to one or more groups. Here is a link to the Donation Form and a list of the organizations raising funds.
Medical Mission Fund
In the spirit of 2006/07 MOA President John Bodell’s presidential theme “Be the Difference,” MOA Board members initiated this fund in 2006 to support medical mission efforts. Contributions to this fund are tax deductible and are used to support volunteer medical missions to developing countries such as Peru, Haiti, Guatemala and Cuba.
MOA Charitable Fund
The Michigan Osteopathic Association's Charitable Fund was organized to promote community health and welfare. The Charitable Fund also serves to raise awareness of social issues and provide health education to the communities our physicians serve.
Michigan Osteopathic College Foundation
On August 1, 1961, the Michigan Osteopathic College Foundation (MOCF) officially filed to incorporate in order to help secure a charter for the Michigan College of Osteopathic Medicine and to solicit and receive funds for such purpose. It is the object and purpose of this Foundation to establish a school of osteopathic medicine and surgery in the state of Michigan and to otherwise assist in financing schools, colleges and advanced institutions devoted to teaching the osteopathic concept of the healing arts in order to educate and provide osteopathic physicians and surgeons and to provide education in the ancillary disciplines for the benefit of the public and to provide for the general health and care of the sick and indigent.
MOA Intern - Resident Fund
The MOA Educational Fund was established to support educational endeavors for young physicians from educational programs to textbooks. Funding is needed to make this possible.
MOA Legacy Program
The cross section of a tree trunk -- rings of light and dark layers -- reveals not only the age of a tree but the conditions under which it has grown. The rings of the osteopathic profession reveal a history of both arduous struggles and immense triumphs. The MOA Legacy Program provides a way for you to strengthen your mark on the profession while also strengthening the foundation that secures its future.
By including a contribution to the MOA Charitable Fund in your estate planning -- in the outline of what you expect to pass on to your family, friends and charities -- you can help improve the association's ability to take care of osteopathic physicians while they are working diligently to improve the lives of their patients. It's also a smart way of using assets, resulting in maximized benefits for you and your family, such as a possible reduction of capital gains tax on appreciated stock; a possible reduction of estate or income taxes for heirs; and a possible increase in retirement income.
Michigan Osteopathic Political Action Committee (MOPAC)
The Michigan Osteopathic Political Action Committee (MOPAC) allows members of the Michigan Osteopathic Association to pool our resources to support candidates for office who generally support public policies that are important to osteopathic physicians and our patients.
Scientific Research Exhibits (SRE)
The MOA hosts a Scientific Research Exhibit (SRE) once yearly. These competitions provide osteopathic medical students, residents, fellows and attending level physicians an opportunity to present their medical and scientific research to our profession. The SRE event demonstrates the very best of what osteopathic medicine is and reaffirms the profession’s commitment to the advancement of science in osteopathic medicine. Please consider donating to this program that attracts and develops talent, while advancing osteopathic medicine.
