The Taylor 829 Foundation Inc | Application Preview
The Taylor 829 Foundation Inc. is applying for government grants to provide essential financial support for disadvantaged students pursuing careers in medicine. The funding will be used to award scholarships of $10,000 to 20 qualified low-income college students, including those in pre-med programs. Additionally, the foundation aims to grant a total of $50,000 to support low-income students from grammar through high school, helping cover school supplies, lab fees, and other educational costs.
The foundation has partnered with the National Urban League, leveraging its extensive experience working in low-income communities. This collaboration will facilitate connections with educators to create a pathway for students aspiring to become medical doctors. Through tutoring, mentoring, coaching, and mental health support, the foundation will help these students stay focused on their educational objectives.
The need for funding is underscored by the current shortage of medical professionals, exacerbated by losses during the COVID-19 pandemic. Many aspiring doctors from disadvantaged backgrounds face significant financial barriers that hinder their pursuit of a medical career. The foundation believes in the importance of representation in healthcare, asserting that children need to see professionals that reflect their own backgrounds.
In terms of competition, the foundation acknowledges Doctors Without Borders as a leading organization but emphasizes its unique approach. Unlike this established entity, The Taylor 829 Foundation Inc. will require scholarship recipients to commit to serving their communities for at least three years after graduation. This commitment aims to ensure that the benefits of the funding extend beyond individual success, fostering community development and support.
Overall, the foundation argues that investing in these students is crucial for addressing the medical workforce shortage and enhancing healthcare access in underserved communities. The need for such programs is both urgent and compelling.

Business Plan
The Taylor 829 Foundation, Inc. has partnered with the National Urban League and its affiliate locations since the National Urban League has been on the ground working in low-income disadvantaged communities for over 50 years. The NUL's guidance and assistance will allow the Foundation to connect with Educators in Grammar Schools, Jr. High, and High Schools students in disadvantaged communities to build a pipeline of qualified students whose aspiration is to become medical doctors by providing them with tutoring, mentoring, coaching, and mental health assistance so that they can remain focused on their educational goals of becoming doctors. The students that the Foundation successfully nurtures their educational growth in securing their doctorate to be a medical doctor will put the spotlight on The Taylor 829 Foundation, Inc., as one of the premier non-profit organizations that low-income disadvantaged students who aspire to become medical doctors turn to. The student's success will be the Foundation's success. The country as a whole has a shortage of Medical Doctors, due to the thousands of highly skilled trained professionals that we as a country lost during COVID-19. The length of time that it takes to educate and train this next generation of medical doctors every student who aspires to become a Medical Doctors need the country's attention and support especially those living in low-income, disadvantaged communities since the financial burden is one of the leading reason why so many of them do not pursue a career in medicine. A child should be able to see themselves in the medical professional that they are seeking medical services from in hopes that that professional sees them and hears their or their parents concerns. Finally, at the end of each of our lives, we will all need the assistance of a doctor to receive the necessary medical care and/or assistance. The time is now to start funding programs and students so that we get them in the pipeline to prepare and educate the next generation of medical doctors. The need is here and the need is GREAT!
