The CAME Foundation
Be part of the next generation of medical education in Canada!
Fundraising Match Opportunity!
Your gift can go twice as far!
Be part of the next generation of medical education in Canada!
A dedicated group of supporters has come together to form a Collective Major Donor, committing a minimum of $10,000 to establish a matching fund. This generous contribution will help amplify the impact of every donation we receive, dollar for dollar, bringing us closer to our goal and accelerating the progress of our work.
This match is an opportunity for our broader community to make an even greater difference. Every contribution, no matter the size, will be doubled through this initiative, helping us extend our reach and deepen our impact.
All donations to the CAME Foundation support the funding of future grants and the Foundation’s ongoing operations. Your generosity helps us continue investing in initiatives that advance health professions education across Canada.

Mission
The purpose of the CAME Foundation is to advance medical education by:
- providing support through scholarships, bursaries, awards or other forms of financial assistance to persons or organizations engaged in or intending to engage in research or education in the field of medical education
- providing support to conferences, courses, seminars, training programs and workshops focused on medical education and related research; and
- receiving or maintaining a fund or funds and to transfer from time to time all or part thereof or the income therefrom to other charities under the Income Tax Act (Canada) that engage in medical education.
CAME Foundation Priority Objectives
- Create an annual peer-reviewed grant competition exclusively to support Canadian medical education research and innovation
- Support up to two educators from across Canada each year to travel to other academic sites to learn, share ideas and collaborate on new initiatives
- Build on the existing Ian Hart fund to ensure a sustained legacy to support CAME initiatives, well into the future
- Support the development of new educational programs that use best evidence and expertise from across Canada to help teachers and educators in their academic roles
- Support CAME in its development of well-researched and relevant public statements and position papers on issues of importance to medical education in Canada.
CAME Foundation Health Professions Education Grants
Opportunities for peer-reviewed grant support in Health Professions Education are limited. Learners and faculty at all stages, who have new projects, are particularly challenged in obtaining support. The CAME Foundation Health Professions Education Grants support new and innovative scholarly projects in Health Professions Education that are not part of larger, formalized and funded education research programs. There are four different grants aimed at supporting different groups.
