About

Support Vanderbilt University School of Medicine on Giving Day!

Every Gift, A Step Forward.
On Giving Day, every gift, no matter the size, takes us one step closer to achieving bold new heights.

Why Give to School of Medicine?
The School of Medicine is celebrating 150 years of medical education at Vanderbilt. Over the course of those 150 years, VUSM has grown into a leading educator of influential clinicians, scientists and educators. Your support fuels our mission to provide an academically excellent, innovative and engaging environment for our students, helping our community dare to grow and reach new heights.

In honor of 150 years of Vanderbilt School of Medicine, consider making a gift this Giving Day to support one of the many priorities at the School of Medicine including:

  • The School of Medicine annual fund, which provides a variety of resources to the school including opportunities for faculty to advance innovative approaches to medical education, student scholarships, student programming, professional development and more.
  • The White Coat Fund, which fuels many important activities that directly impact the lives of our students. A gift to this fund not only welcomes the incoming Class of 2029 during their White Coat Ceremony in July but also supports student wellness activities and leadership programming throughout their entire medical school experience.
  • The Vanderbilt Medical School Endowed Scholarship fund, which provides scholarships for talented medical students, ensuring we attract the finest scholars, regardless of their ability to pay.

By supporting the School of Medicine on Giving Day, you ensure that our students, faculty and programs continue to thrive.

Make Your Gift Go Further.
This Giving Day, your impact can be amplified through exciting matches and challenges!

VUSM Overall Participation Challenge

  • When 225 donors give to VUSM on Giving Day, a $100,000 gift will be unlocked to support VUSM student scholarships!

Dean’s Power Hour

  • From 12 to 1 p.m. CT on April 10, Dean Balser will match dollar-for-dollar all gifts made to the School of Medicine up to $5,000.

Be Part of Something Bigger. Your involvement fuels us as we dare to grow.
