The Voelcker Fund is dedicated to supporting medical research with an emphasis on diseases such as heart disease, cancer, arthritis, muscular dystrophy, and inherited vision degeneration disorders of the retina through grants to designated 501(c)(3) non-profit organizations.
The Voelcker Fund Grant program is designed to provide restricted grants to 501(c)(3) non-profit organizations actively engaged in medical research. This grant program focuses on advancing research specifically targeting heart disease, cancer, arthritis, muscular dystrophy, and inherited vision degeneration disorders of the retina. The process begins with the submission of a Letter of Inquiry (LOI), after which selected applicants are invited to provide a more detailed grant proposal.
The Voelcker Fund gives priority to entities functioning within San Antonio and the Bexar County region.
