Fuel the Future

The future of orthotics, prosthetics, and pedorthics depends on the students, residents, researchers, and professionals who are training today to become the leaders of tomorrow. Yet too many face barriers to completing their education, advancing research, or accessing the resources they need to thrive.

That’s where the Orthotics and Prosthetics Foundation for Education and Research steps in. Through scholarships, research grants, and professional awards, the O&P Foundation invests directly in people—the very people who will improve care and transform the lives of individuals living with physical disabilities.

Why it Matters

• Every dollar raised fuels scholarships for students and awards for residents, helping them pursue a sustainable path into the OP&P profession.
• Your gift supports early career researchers, whose work can improve care quality, improve outcomes and expand access for patients.
• By investing in young professionals, you are strengthening the workforce that patients depend on for high-quality, accessible and life-changing care.
