Supporting the Division of Geriatric Medicine

By supporting our work, you are investing in our efforts to push for more answers and find new treatments.

Our mission is to enhance the health of older adults by providing superb clinical care, by training others to do the same and by conducting research to ensure that tomorrow’s care will be better than today’s.

At the University of Pittsburgh Division of Geriatric Medicine within the Department of Medicine, we are improving our systems of care through training programs, research and outstanding clinical care—all while keeping our mission of enhancing the health of older adults at the front of everything we do.

Your contribution is essential to our work.

By supporting our efforts, you will allow us to carry on our tradition of excellence in patient care, education and research. We’ve been able to make scientific and clinical strides thanks to benefactors, and we know that our next leap will be possible because of charitable giving.

This type of generosity is essential to our work! Philanthropy lays the foundation for what we do. Our supporters are co-visionaries who help us envision new possibilities and improve treatment outcomes. You, too, can help make a difference for the older adults who touch our lives.

Corporate Matching

Many employers match charitable contributions made by their employees. Find out how you can double or even triple the size of your gift to Pitt by participating in a workplace matching gift program. Spouse and retiree gifts may also be matched. Please ask your employer for details.

Endowed Funds

Endowed funds are named funds that provide a perpetual stream of income for a specific purpose or for students within a particular area. Whether these gifts are for scholarships, fellowships, faculty chairs or other important programs or services, they allow major gift donors to provide permanent support to the division. Minimum endowment levels guarantee that sufficient income will be available to fulfill the donor’s specific intentions.

Current Funds

Unlike endowed funds, current funds can be distributed in the same year they are received. They are a terrific alternative for those who might have excess funds available each year and ideal for annual IRA disbursements or lump-sum gifts.

Planned Giving

Planned giving options allow you to amplify the impact of your generosity to the University of Pittsburgh as well as to potentially create lifetime income streams and reduce your taxes. You can leave a legacy through bequests, retirement plans and life insurance.

Your contribution may be tax deductible. Contributions to the University of Pittsburgh and UPMC are tax deductible as provided by law. Official registration and financial information may be obtained from the Pennsylvania Department of State by calling toll-free at 1-800-732-0999. Please consult with your tax advisor before making a contribution or taking a tax deduction.
