Practice Grant Program
In addition to the Foundation’s Mini-Grant program, the Pennsylvania Pharmacists Association Educational Foundation will award one grant up to a maximum amount of $5,000.
The grant can be used for projects which are targeted towards patient care by pharmacists and innovative activity around pharmacy practice. Applicants are strongly encouraged to consider how their project might address healthcare disparities, social determinants of health (e.g. food or healthcare access, language and health literacy, transportation) and/or positively impact historically marginalized populations. Submitted projects must have a measurable result or outcome.
The 2026 Practice Grant Application deadline has closed. Watch for the 2027 announcement in Summer 2026.
