The Winnipeg Rh Institute Foundation was established in 1994. The objective of the Foundation is to support the advancement of knowledge in all fields, and it derives funds for this purpose from royalties arising from the sale of serums and medicinal formulae.

The purpose of the Dr. John M. Bowman Memorial Winnipeg Rh Institute Foundation Award, which was established in 1997 and renamed in Dr. Bowman’s memory in 2005, is to recognize outstanding research accomplishments by senior University of Manitoba faculty. The award consists of a cash prize of $20,000 and a medal. An annual special event is held in the form of an invitational dinner, which is followed by a lecture to be delivered by the award recipient.
