Hines Foundation) Local churches Local restaurants and other businesses Governmental agencies SNMA Community Service Grant (up to $200, for one activity). Applications are considered on a quarterly basis. Where will you get the money and supplies for these protocols??

  23. Other: Non-Protocol Activities Please plan these as well! They are also eligible for SNMA Community Service Grant Funds

  24. Activity Report Forms • Complete one after each community service activity (protocols and others) at www.snma.org • Only complete ARFs for true COMMUNITY service activities (activities done for the benefit of medical students,such as socials and med-student mentoring programs, are not SNMA reportable community service activities). Think of community service as that which you do for those outside your medical school community. • $100 incentives are awarded regularly to chapters randomly selected from the pool of ARFs received for that quarter
