How to Apply

The Mayday Fund's current grant making targets are: projects that result in clinical interventions to reduce the toll of physical pain; pediatric pain; pain in non-verbal populations; and pain in the context of emergency medicine. Mayday will also continue to be proactive in its commitment to promote networking between veterinary and human medicine, especially in an effort to inform measurements of pain in non-verbal populations. Finally, The Directors of the Mayday Fund wish to be nimble enough to respond as special opportunities present themselves.

On Unsolicited Proposals yes

Restrictions

Grants are Made to Public Charities and educational institutions officially recognized as such by the IRS. The Mayday Fund concentrates its activities in the united states. On occasion, grants have been made to canadian organizations where the project has an effect with international impact. Grants cannot be made to individuals.
