We invest in educational projects that improve health by advancing the education and training of future health professionals.
We have two distinct grant programs. We award President’s
Grants and Board Grants. Both types of
grants focus on the foundation’s three
priorities.
Detailed information, instructions, and answers to frequently asked questions about our two grant programs follow.

All applications must be completed and submitted online. You may return to your online application as often as you like prior to submitting it. Once you have submitted your application online it cannot be reopened.

Within two months of submission, you will receive one of the following: a request for more information, a request to submit a full proposal, or a notice informing you that your project will not be supported.
If our review of the Letter of Inquiry indicates that your project is a strong candidate for Board funding support, you will be invited to submit a full Board Grant proposal.
All full proposals must include:
All Invited Proposals must be completed and submitted online. You may return to your online full-proposal document as often as you like prior to submitting it. Once you have submitted your document online it cannot be reopened.
Once the full proposal is submitted, it will be reviewed by our staff, and it is possible that revisions may be requested. Board Grant proposals accepted by Macy Foundation staff will then be submitted for final review by our Board of Directors, who will ultimately determine whether the project is funded.
Please note: The process from Letter of Inquiry to Board approval can take up to a year.
