Giving to the School of Nursing

The University of Michigan School of Nursing enjoys a position of preeminence due in large part to private financial support that is essential to remain a leader in education, patient care, research and community service. Alumni are among the most loyal of supporters, and non-alumni, corporations and foundations are also important funding sources.

 

The School of Nursing has a unique opportunity to make important contributions to the nursing profession and to our society as a growing nursing shortage impacts the lives of individuals and communities. People in our country are already feeling the negative effects of a nursing shortage on health services across the spectrum of care, and some predict the shortage could last up to 20 years.

 

For the University of Michigan School of Nursing to remain strong, it is essential to increase student scholarships and grants as well as funding for endowed chairs, faculty positions and research. Increased support will enable the School to develop new models for care delivery and nursing leadership, and to provide needed financial assistance to attract the best and brightest students and faculty.

 

Donations to the School of Nursing can be given by electing to give annually, by making a one-time gift, by honoring someone specific, or by making the School a beneficiary in your estate. For more information about the ways to give to the School of Nursing, please contact the Office of Development and External Relations, (734) 763-9710 or nursingalum@umich.edu.

 

Gifts to the School are tax deductible, per the current and applicable tax laws. Donors receive recognition from both the School and the University of Michigan.
