Tribute giving
There are many opportunities to commemorate family members, friends, or colleagues on a birthday, anniversary, or another special occasion. For example, gifts can be made to the Department of Pathology in honor of a friend's special life event, or in honor of a physician who has played a significant role in your health or who has advanced research in a specific disease area. These gifts are greatly appreciated by the people being honored and their families.
A gift made to the Department of Pathology in memory of a person who has passed away is a special way to honor a beloved friend or family member. Such gifts not only memorialize the person, but also help fight the disease that caused them suffering.
Gift planning
Gift planning allows our donors to thoughtfully choose ways of giving that meet their needs—and the needs of the Department of Pathology. A development director from the Department and the Johns Hopkins University Office of Gift Planning can provide you with information on effective charitable planning options so that you can achieve optimum tax, financial, and philanthropic results.
Honoring Our Past, Funding Our Future
For more than 125 years, the Department of Pathology has continued the traditions of excellence in research and teaching begun by William H. Welch, M.D., the first Professor of Pathology at Johns Hopkins. Even before the hospital opened its doors in 1889 and the School of Medicine welcomed its first class of medical students in 1893, the Johns Hopkins Department of Pathology has been at the forefront of medical research and education.
The story of Johns Hopkins is at its heart a story of philanthropy.
Johns Hopkins Medicine owes its existence—and its continuing
excellence—to the generosity of private individuals. While most
investigators in the Department of Pathology receive some level of
government funding, contributions from private individuals, foundations,
and corporations provide investigators with the additional funding that
is crucial in helping to continue the quality of teaching and patient
care for which Johns Hopkins Medicine is known. More importantly,
philanthropic contributions provide the critical support that
investigators need in order to pursue novel and potentially high-impact
research that challenge the frontiers of medicine for the benefit of
all—now and in the future, here at Johns Hopkins and around the world.
Our Funds & Endowments
Some of the world's most accomplished physician-scientists have been members of our faculty. These remarkable men and women had significant impact on their respective fields and were extraordinary teachers and mentors to generations of pathologists.
Your tax-deductible contribution to any of our endowed funds both honors our past and provides permanent support to fund our future. Thank you for your investment and partnership.
