Background
In 1987, the Illinois Academy of Family Physicians (IAFP) created the IAFP Foundation. The IAFP Foundation shares resources and information with the AAFP Foundation's network of 39 affiliated chapter Foundations.

The IAFP and its Foundation are two distinct organizations which enjoy a mutually beneficial relationship. The two are closely aligned in their missions and work together to achieve their common goal of improving healthcare for the people of Illinois.

The IAFP Foundation exists to address the philanthropic needs of family physicians in Illinois while supporting the advancement of family medicine through charitable, educational, public service, research and scientific programs.

The Foundation assists the academic advancement of family physicians in areas of research, education and healthcare delivery by awarding grants to individuals and institutions engaged in creative studies and activities.

A vital element of the Foundation's mission is to encourage philanthropy by family physicians, the corporate community and the general public.
