AHMAD FAMILY FOUNDATION - Indigent Surgery Program Funding Guidelines
PURPOSE: Indigent Surgery Program is part of Ahmad Family Foundation's national and international mission to provide safe medical care to the indigent. Its objective is to provide funds to pay for surgical procedures for those who cannot afford the necessary medical procedure. Funds will be paid out of either Ahmad Family Foundation's operating account or funds donated specifically for a named beneficiary. Funds will then be paid directly to surgical facilities.
FUNDS: Indigent Surgery Program funding will be acquired through two methods. The funding is intended to pay the total cost or supplement a beneficiary lacking full payment for surgery. These funds will be assigned for the program from Ahmad Family Foundation as needed by the Board of Directors. The second method of acquiring funds will be to accept monetary donations from donors seeking to make charitable tax-deductible donations. The donors may or may not have a named beneficiary for their donation. The donors will be required to verify that they do not have ownership in or a relationship to an owner, familial or otherwise, of the surgical center that will be the recipient of the funds they have donated.
REQUEST FOR SURGICAL FUNDS: Patients may request funds from Indigent Surgery Program by completing and submitting the following online request form. The Board of Directors will review requests for funds and notify applicants of their status. NOTE: Please make sure you receive an email confirmation from the Ahmad Family Foundation acknowledging receipt of your application in order for your request to be considered.
FUNDING PRIORITIES: The Board of Directors established that funding will be given to those patients in need of surgery that is medically necessary. The funds are not intended to pay for surgery that has already occurred, rather it is intended for future procedures.
PROGRAM REQUIREMENTS: In order for a patient to participate, documentation from the surgeon stating the procedure and its need and cost estimate from the facility where surgery will be performed. Upon completion of the procedure, the surgery facility must contact the Program manager and advise that the procedure was completed and provide statement of costs due.
