Physicians' Memorial Foundation
The Physicians Memorial Foundation is a private foundation exempt from federal income taxes under 501 (c)(3).
Its primary purpose is to engage in activities of a charitable and benevolent nature. Activities shall include, but are not limited to, 1) receive donations and contributions which will assist the immediate families of deceased physicians who are found to be in need; 2) provide scholarship grants for pre-medical and medical students in Riverside County who are in financial need of assistance; 3) establish proper commemorative programs; 4) borrow money, executive notes, mortgages, trust deeds, and to deposit and invest funds received to the full advantage of the foundation; 5) carry on any activity to promote the interests of the foundation in connection with any of the foregoing purposes.
The Memorial Foundation currently has two programs in existence. The first is the scholarship grant. To qualify for scholarships, medical students must be a United States citizen and a resident of Riverside County for at least a 5-year period, be accepted or presently attending an accredited medical or osteopathic school, show financial need, and complete an application for scholarship assistance.
The second program is Project K.I.N.D. This program was created to provide free health care to children with acute illnesses who do not qualify for Medi-Cal and who have no health insurance. Project K.I.N.D. is dependant upon donations from community support, such as service organizations, health care agencies, and business foundations, and various grant opportunities.
