DMF Scholarship Funds
Scholarship Funds are created by individuals,
families, schools, and other organizations to
provide financial assistance to qualified
students in pursuit of higher education in
health-related fields. These funds are often
established in memory or in honor of an
individual to commemorate that person’s
life, achievements, or dedication to a
particular cause. The Foundation generally
works with institutions of higher education
to administer scholarship grant funds. The
donor may select institutions to administer
the scholarship grant funds as well as
develop criteria for the scholarship award.
DMF does not charge a fee to manage
these funds.
Mack V. Traynor, M.D. Scholarship Fund
The Mack V. Traynor, M.D. Scholarship Fund
was established by Dr. Traynor’s children to
commemorate his lifelong commitment to
delivering high quality healthcare services to
his patients. The fund provides annual
scholarships to one or more eligible medical
students at the University of North Dakota.
Dr. Traynor, an internal medicine specialist,

DMF Helping Hand
Member and Employee
Matching Gift Program
In August, 2005, DMF’s board established
the Helping Hand Matching Gift Program
to encourage members and employees to
partner with DMF in financially supporting
important health-related programs in our
region. Through the Helping Hand Matching
Gift Program, DMF members and employees
may contribute up to $5,000 to DMF and
recommend that their gift, plus a DMF
match, be granted to up to four approved
grant recipients and/or named funds during
the fiscal year (Oct. 1 – Sept. 30). All funds
awarded through the Helping Hand program
become grants that the Foundation actively
manages and monitors to ensure desired
health impact.
