Better Health for All People
Advanced practice nurses. Midwives. Scientists. Leaders. The Yale School of Nursing (YSN) prepares expert clinicians, researchers, and policymakers who tackle the biggest questions in healthcare. Your support of the school can help Yale nurses turn the tide on COVID, stem chronic disease, care for aging populations, advance equal access to care, and respond to health challenges posed by global warming. Your giving makes a difference.
Your impact, amplified
You can unlock $50 million for Yale nurses, thanks to a new university incentive. For every gift to a School of Nursing endowed fund, the university will make an equal and unrestricted contribution to the school’s general endowment, up to a total of $50 million. You can direct your gift to support an area that you care most about—such as student support, professorships, or teaching innovation—while the university contribution provides unrestricted funds to advance the dean’s priorities. Yale nurses answer the world’s call every day, as midwives, nurse practitioners, leaders, and researchers. Contact us to learn more about how your support can help them deliver on our mission of better health for all people and the planet.
