The Marjorie Stanzler Fund (MSF) was established in 2015 to provide access to Schwartz Center programs to healthcare organizations that could otherwise not afford them.

Many healthcare institutions, such as safety net hospitals, small rehab centers, and community health clinics, cannot allocate funds to support programs for their caregivers’ mental health and well-being. Grants from the MSF remove financial barriers for under-resourced healthcare organizations to participate in the Schwartz Rounds® program so they can stem stress and burnout in their staff.
Recognizing the investment of staff resources at grant recipient organizations, the MSF grants provide membership and program support for three years during the initial award period. Grant recipients may reapply for renewed support every two years thereafter.

The MSF grant program targets organizations that serve a significant percentage of one or more of the following patient communities:
"This fund is near and dear to my heart as it highlights the driving force of the Schwartz Center: compassion. The Stanzler Fund provides a platform for organizations who otherwise could not access the Schwartz Center's evidence based training programs to bolster their workforce. After 18 years as a staff member, and more as a supporter, I'm honored to champion this effort to expand the reach of the Schwartz Center, especially to underserved communities.” – Marjorie Stanzler
