The Foundation is committed to supporting charities and issues that MDRT members care about. To that end, all funding awarded to charitable organizations by the MDRT Foundation has a connection to a member of MDRT. Reflecting the diverse interests of MDRT members, the Foundation funds a wide range of charities and social service programs, including programs directed at children in need, education, job training, food insecurity, health and wellness, mental health, and poverty alleviation. History In 1956, MDRT President, Arthur F. Priebe, CLU, directed a corporate gift made in his honor to support philanthropic effort in his community. This led to the creation of the MDRT Foundation in 1959, established as a not-for-profit charitable organization based in Illinois, United States. During the next 10 years, MDRT members pooled their resources and developed an infrastructure to strengthen this new founded charitable organization. Thanks to the generosity of individual and corporate donors, the talents of an extensive volunteer network, and the support of MDRT, today the MDRT Foundation offers a robust grants program to support the charitable efforts of MDRT members worldwide.
