Here are just a few examples of how philanthropy helps us better serve you through clinical care, research, and education:

Named Endowed Professorships

Endowed professorships are the highest honor Yale School of Medicine can bestow upon a faculty member who is distinguished as a leader in medicine. Funding from endowed professorships provide secure, flexible support for a distinguished faculty member’s research and scholarly activities. A professorship can be named for a donor or a loved one creating an enduring tribute to individual generosity.

Named Endowed Lectureships

A lecture series plays an important role in our academic life at Yale School of Medicine. A named endowed lectureship ensures that the Department of Pathology will have a perpetual financial stream to support scholarly lectures by distinguished leaders in a particular specialty.

Research

The Department of Pathology is committed to excellence in both clinical and academic fields, which is essential to our mission and our aim of enhancing patient care through expert diagnostics and innovative treatments. We have committed more resources to these areas, and it is critical we continue.

Gifts of Marketable Securities

A gift of appreciated securities you have held for more than one year is frequently the most economical way to give. You will be eligible to take a federal income tax deduction equal to the fair market value of the stock on the date of the gift for up to 30% of your adjusted gross income and will not have to recognize the appreciation as a capital gain.

Planned Giving and Bequests

With a planned giving strategy tailored to your needs, you can put your assets to work for Yale, while you and the University share in the benefits.

• IRA Rollover
• Charitable Gift Annuities and Charitable Lead Trusts
• Real Estate

Corporate Matching Gifts

Your gift can have an even greater impact if your company has a matching gift program. In some cases, your spouse’s company may match your gift. The impact of your gift may be doubled or possibly tripled. (Some companies also match gifts made by retirees.)
