Learn more about gifts in memory and honor
Honorary and memorial contributions enable alumni and friends to pay tribute to respected professors, admired colleagues, cherished classmates, or loved ones—and at the same time advance medical education and research at Boston University Chobanian & Avedisian School of Medicine.
Gifts in honor of a birthday or in memory of a loved one do not require the creation of a new fund. You may direct these gifts to the Chobanian & Avedisian School of Medicine in general or to a particular department, as you wish.
Some donors take their tribute a step further by creating a named fund, for which the minimum donation is generally $10,000. Both types of gifts can also qualify the donor or the honoree for membership in BU Chobanian & Avedisian School of Medicine’s giving societies.
