FMIGs can take advantage of the two programs listed below to receive funding for programming. FMIGs should also explore local funding streams such as through their state chapter, local community foundations and medical school. For information on individual fundraising efforts, see the FMIG Manual.
Students who are AAFP members can sign up to be the designated Student Membership Coordinator for their medical school. In doing so, your FMIG will receive numerous materials from the AAFP and earn incentives for increasing AAFP student membership. Both the membership coordinator and the FMIG earn incentives.
Incentives for FMIGs:
Each time the FMIG earns an incentive, the Student Membership Coordinator chooses to receive a $20 gift card to Amazon.com, iTunes or Starbucks.
More information is available (AAFP members only), or you can e-mail Julie Herzog for more information.
The AAFP and AAFP Foundation have partnered again to provide crucial financial support to campus-based FMIGs at U.S. allopathic medical schools in order to enhance student interest in family medicine.
Each campus-based FMIG is eligible for $600 in academic year 2009-2010. Application materials will be available in August 2009. Please check back at that time for the updated requirements.
