Established in 2006 through an estate bequest from Julian and Esther Rossnick, The AOF’s Rossnick Humanitarian Grant program provided an airfare and lodging stipend for members of the Osteopathic profession who traveled to underserved, underdeveloped, or disaster-stricken areas to provide medical services. The goal was to inspire and empower members of the Osteopathic profession to participate in humanitarian medical missions. In 2020 and 2021, the AOF suspended this program due to the U.S. State Department’s Global Level 4 Health Advisory – Do Not Travel. For the 2022 program year, the AOF has developed a one-time RFP to recognize and support Osteopathic medical outreach across the globe.
