Giving

University of Michigan surgeons don’t do good work alone. Your support is critical to our discovery of insights, innovations, and tools that improve human health.

Supporting Our Surgeons

This generosity supports nationally recognized research endeavors, conferences, and lectures. Endowed lectureships allow us to bring surgical leaders to Michigan, enriching the educational and training experiences of our faculty, residents, and fellows. Other funds provide support to patients and their families to make ends meet, providing relief during the stress of medical treatment.

  • Alumni Giving: One-time and annual gifts from alumni and friends provide vital support for the success of each section within the Department of Surgery.
  • Patient Giving: Our patients frequently ask how can they can give back or get involved. Giving a personal gift to your surgeon’s research can demonstrate your appreciation while you also make a positive impact on the care of future patients.
  • Employee or Retiree Giving: Gifts from current and retired faculty and staff send a powerful message that our commitment to excellence is worthy of broad community service. Join in the remarkable progress happening at Michigan, and personalize your gift to your University.
