FMEC Legacy Campaign Success 

The Board of Trustees of the FMEC created the Legacy Campaign in honor of Laurence Bauer, MSW, MEd  to ensure the future success of FMEC.  By expanding the availability and facilitating the remarkable leadership of family physicians, we can improve the health of the nation. A $100,000 gift from Dr. Stacy Potts, a Past President of the FMEC, challenged us and it was matched to start the Legacy Fund for a total of $200,000. When the Legacy Campaign was completed in 2026, nearly $350,000 from nearly 50 donors was collected.

  • $350,000 raised to date
  • 100% of the board has participated
  • 63% of those asked have committed
  • 45 donors have contributed (please see the list below)
                            *If you would like to change how you are listed, please contact Shayla at [email protected].

The Legacy Campaign offered donors the option of designating the fund in which their contribution will be placed. Here is a description of the focus areas:
  • The Strategic Reserve Fund-This fund will provide support for the long-term survival of the organization. This fund shall be segregated. The interest from the Strategic Reserve Fund may be allocated to the FMEC operating account on an annual basis.
  • FMEC Greatest Need-This fund will be allocated at the discretion of the Board to meet the needs of the organization. Gifts that are not designated will be used for this focus area. 
  • The Operational Growth Fund-This fund will be used to grow the infrastructure of the FMEC. This fund will be used to invest in program development, membership growth and marketing.

Thank you. Our commitment to you is that we will ensure that FMEC continues its robust work to develop a primary care-driven system in our nation. With your support, there will be more Family Physicians providing transformative primary care and better health in your community and our country.
