Donor Recognition Program

The Canadian Physiatrists Research and Development Foundation (CPRDF) was founded in 1991 by specialists in physical medicine and rehabilitation. The Foundation’s purpose is to promote research and development of the specialty by physicians in the field of physical medicine and rehabilitation. The Foundation supports the following activities:

• Resident Research Award
• Resident Essay Award
• Medical Student Essay Award
• Student Research Award
• Visiting Professorship Program
• International Rehabilitation Projects
• Annual Humanities Lecture
• Meridith Marks Award for Excellence in Education

The Board of the CPRDF acknowledges the importance of our members’ donations. Your donation assists us to fund a variety of worthwhile research projects. In order to recognize the contributions of our members to the Foundation formally, we have created a new Donor Recognition Program. Donors will be recognized on a CPRDF display at the annual meeting.

We encourage you to give generously to help the Foundation fund its current programs and to develop new initiatives that will benefit our profession.

Thank you for your support!

Funding

The Foundation is supported by contributions from the Canadian Association of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation annual dues and monetary gifts/bequests/grants from interested physicians, lay persons, public and private foundation health care institutions, governments agencies and business organizations.

In compliance with Revenue Canada regulations and with the written directions of the donor, financial gifts to the Foundation will be used in one of two ways:

• The gift will be retained by the Foundation for at least ten years in an interest bearing capital fund before allocation toward the activities of the Foundation. This will permit the formation of a permanent capital fund and will allow the Foundation to continue its activities and awards in perpetuity from the interest income generated.
• The gift will be used immediately for the Foundation activities and awards in the year of donation.

A gift of bequest can be designated to fund a specific award, grant or educational program. A tax receipt will be issued.
