The mission of Michigan Pharmacy Foundation (MPF) is to advance pharmacy, pharmacy education and research, and to promote pharmacy practice to the highest level of patient care.

MPF was established as an initiative of Michigan Pharmacists Association in 1992. Directing the fundraising activities and programs of the Foundation is a Board of Trustees, whose members are leaders in Michigan pharmacy.
