Preserve Your Legacy with a Gift to the Foundation

Every gift to the Women in Medicine Legacy Foundation helps preserve and promote the rich history of women in medicine and the medical sciences. Whether large or small, your support ensures that these pioneering stories continue to inspire future generations. Unrestricted gifts provide the Foundation with maximum flexibility to address emerging needs, while restricted gifts (minimum of $100) allow you to support specific programs that align with your passion.

Donors giving $50 or more automatically become members of the Women’s Legacy Collective, a dynamic community committed to advancing the legacy of women in medicine. Members receive exclusive benefits, including access to special programs, first-look access to new oral histories, and recognition in our quarterly Women’s Legacy Update newsletter.
