Since its founding in 1959, the MDRT Foundation has relied on the generosity of MDRT members who donate to support its global grant programs. This collective generosity has had a powerful impact, with more than $28 million in grant funding awarded to more than 1,700 MDRT member-endorsed charities worldwide. MDRT membership has a diverse demographic and geographic makeup, yet its members share a common bond of compassion and the belief that giving back to people in need is the not only the right way, but the MDRT way.
