Dr. William M. Harris Grant for Chiropractic Advancement

Cobb Community Foundation is pleased to announce the return of a grant funding opportunity through the Dr. William M. Harris Grant for Chiropractic Advancement.  The Dr. William M. Harris Grant for Chiropractic Advancement is dedicated to fulfilling its charitable mission of enhancing and encouraging the development and application of chiropractic profession. The purpose of the grant is to fund charitable causes that advance chiropractic education, research, and business management.

Dr. William M. Harris devoted his entire professional career to providing and promoting chiropractic care and teaching others to do the same. In 1978, he established the Foundation for the Advancement of Chiropractic Education (FACE), which eventually became the William M. Harris Grant for Chiropractic Advancement. By challenging the chiropractic profession to support similar initiatives and instituting a practice that his contributions be matched, he ensured that his contributions would be leveraged, resulting in a higher return on his investment as well as a greater impact.
