Alumni Giving

As a member of the medical profession, you know the joy of healing, the hope of discovery and the satisfaction of making a difference.

As an alumnus or alumna of Mayo Clinic, you value the education and training that you received at Mayo. You appreciate your professional relationship with Mayo Clinic and how it enhances your reputation with colleagues, patients and peers.

There is no better way to express appreciation and help Mayo remain at the forefront of patient care, education and research than through financial support.

Mayo Clinic alumni benefactors, who are recognized through membership in The Doctors Mayo Society, give generously to support a wide range of patient care, education, and research programs and initiatives. Alumni gifts reflect confidence in Mayo's mission while inspiring others to give.

The Doctors Mayo Society: A legacy of philanthropy
Motivated by the generosity of Dr. William J. Mayo and Dr. Charles H. Mayo, a group of philanthropic alumni established The Doctors Mayo Society in 1997. Their goal was to promote among fellow alumni the importance of providing financial support in appreciation of the educational and training experiences received at Mayo Clinic.

The Doctors Mayo Society is not a "destination" for gifts, but a way of recognizing alumni who give to Mayo Clinic.

The Office of Alumni Philanthropy is available to provide information and guidance on giving to Mayo Clinic that's personalized to your interests. There are many ways to make your gift to Mayo Clinic and fulfill your philanthropic goals. Examples of where gifts may be directed include:

• Area of greatest need (unrestricted)

• A tribute gift to honor a mentor or colleague
