Newsroom 2004 Million Dollar Promise Campaign Today, keep the the promise with your gift. The MDRT Foundation launched a bold initiative last year to respond to the increased need felt around the world: the Million Dollar Promise Campaign. The campaign enabled the MDRT Foundation to give away $1 million USD in grants for the first time in its history in 2003, thanks to the generosity and compassion of MDRT members.
The 2004 Million Dollar Promise Campaign will continue the "million dollar" promise through the expansion of the Worldwide Grant Program. The Worldwide Grant Program, a member benefit, provides funding globally to worthy charitable organizations endorsed by members. In other words, Worldwide grants are given to the causes members feel are most deserving. As MDRT becomes more international, the MDRT Foundation is committed to reflecting its diverse membership through the growth of the Worldwide Grant Program.
To make the 2004 Million Dollar Promise Campaign a success, every member from every country needs to donate $100 USD or more. Net proceeds will be used entirely to provide grant funding through the Worldwide Grant Program. If you live outside the United States, your contribution will be designated specifically for international grants. The goal is to spread the caring and sharing spirit of MDRT members around the world. Remember, compassion has no boundaries. The more you give today, the more the MDRT Foundation can give around the globe tomorrow. Today, keep the the promise with your gift.

However, a new year means a renewed promise.
This year, for example, Worldwide grants were awarded to give wheelchairs
to the disabled in China, to prevent childhood anemia in Haiti and
to provide hope for cancer patients in Israel. All told, Worldwide
grants benefited people living in eight countries and 22 states. A
good start, but there's more to be done.
