Your gift to the Annual Fund supports student financial assistance, the Alumni Medical Library, student activities and publications, upgraded teaching facilities, and projects determined by the Dean. This fund advances various projects of importance to the School and its students. Your gift helps build and maintain the foundation for an excellent medical education and a rewarding campus experience for all BUSM students. Your generosity is greatly appreciated. Alumni Fund Phonathons are held during the Fund Year. Alumni and student volunteers call alumni to ask for contributions.

Honorary and Memorial Contributions The Alumni Association welcomes honorary and memorial contributions. This is an excellent way to pay tribute to a respected professor, an admired colleague or a cherished classmate or family member while making a contribution to advance medical education at Boston University School of Medicine. Honorary and memorial contributions are credited through the Annual Fund in the usual way, qualifying either the donor or the honoree for membership in the appropriate Special Gift Club. Some alumni and friends have chosen to carry their tribute a step further by creating a named fund. In general, a minimum of $10,000 is required to establish a named fund. Certain kinds of funds, such as endowed scholarship funds or professorships, have larger minimum requirements to fulfill larger needs. If you are interested in naming opportunities at BUSM, please contact Holly Lindner Director of the Alumni Association, (617) 638-5154, e-mail: hlindner@bu.edu
