Overview

Through BMA Giving, we're committed to supporting doctors and the communities they serve.

They do this by offering grants to UK-registered charitable groups that support healthcare initiatives that reflect their priorities and values, which also include initiatives with a humanitarian or health information focus in developing countries.Their work with these partner charities promotes the expertise of our members and empowers charities to develop vital projects that support those who need it most.

In 2024, the committee will award grants totalling £75,000 to charities whose projects fall within the objectives of the BMA:

promoting the medical and allied sciences
maintaining the honour and interests of the medical profession
promoting the achievement of high-quality healthcare.

Grants eligibility and criteria

BMA Giving grants are only available for UK registered charities. Grants are not available for individuals, including tuition and course fees.

Charities are asked to consider how working with the BMA, a membership organisation of over 190,000 doctors and medical students, is relevant to their mission and could benefit their work.

BMA Giving grants are assessed by the BMA Giving committee on behalf of the BMA finance committee. In judging the applications, the committee consider the following points:

importance of the work - the lasting benefits that the organisation/project will create to patient care, the medical profession or medical and health research
project reliability and sustainability- excellent planning and design of projects, risk mitigating and safeguarding strategies
appropriate use of funds - the funded supplies or services that will provide a valuable contribution to the project, accuracy of quotation, project completion dependency on external funding.

Applications for projects that support the health and wellbeing of doctors and medical students must complement existing BMA services. See the BMA wellbeing support services page for further details.

Successful applicants will be asked to provide progress reports and regular updates.
