The Physiotherapy Foundation of Canada (PFC) is Canada’s only registered charity dedicated to the funding of physiotherapy research. PFC-funded research creates knowledge that improves the practice of physiotherapy, helping physiotherapists better assess, treat, and educate their patients, which ultimately allows Canadians to experience a better quality of life.
For more than 30 years, PFC has awarded more than $1.25 million in grants and scholarships to the country’s leading researchers.
Our work is funded through generous tax-deductible donations made by individuals, foundations and corporations. To learn more about ways you can support PFC.
