Forward Fund

The Forward Fund

This is a special purpose fund established by the Board, to pay for projects that involve advancing the image and utilization of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine (AOM). The main goal is to be able to finance enhanced and added efforts at educating Florida citizens, law makers, employers and insurance companies in the value and benefits of AOM.

The Forward Fund is a special bank account, set up and reserved for special projects. The special projects, as created by the Board of Directors, would include such things as Acupuncture Education Day, staffing an exhibit booth at the Worker's Compensation Institute Conference, lobbying, coalition building, meetings, advertising, special functions, creation and mailing of special literature or documents, etc. The funds generated at the FSOMA Conference Silent Auction supports this work.
