1. What is Partners In Health?
An internal faculty and staff campaign for the Vanderbilt University Medical Center.
Medical and nursing faculty and staff give generously to support the areas about which they are most passionate. They have a personal stake in the financial health of Vanderbilt.
Philanthropic support of the Medical Center provides a critical bridge between established programs and bold new ideas. Philanthropy allows for the introduction of new and innovative ideas in prevention and treatment.
2. How is Partners In Health different from the Community Giving and Faculty-Staff campaigns?
Partners In Health is the internal giving campaign at Vanderbilt University Medical Center. All gifts from faculty and staff directly benefit the work of the Medical Center.
The Community Giving Campaign provides faculty and staff the opportunity to give to the community at large.
The Faculty-Staff Campaign gives University faculty and staff the opportunity to contribute to Vanderbilt by making a gift to a designated school, program or organization.
3. Why should I give through Partners In Health?
A gift to the Vanderbilt University Medical Center is visible evidence of your support of and participation in the work of the Medical Center and is a gift to the profession where you continue to make an impact.
As a non-profit institution, Vanderbilt relies on charitable gifts to help support the overall work and research of the Medical Center.
Your gift is potentially multiplied by corporations, foundations and other funding sources because they ask, “What are faculty and staff giving back to the institution?” When they see the investment made by faculty and staff, they are willing to make additional gifts that have a notable impact on the patients, students, community and others who benefit from the work of the Medical Center.
4. Can I pay for my membership in a donor society through Partners In Health?
Yes! Membership in the Canby Robinson Society, the Julia Hereford Society, or the Nicholas Hobbs Society can be made through Partners In Health. Any annual gift of $1,000 or more to the Medical Center qualifies the donor for membership in a donor society. We encourage you to become a member by making a payroll deduction of $83.34 per month for a year. As with all gifts, donor society-level gifts may be designated to support your area of greatest interest.
