If you are planning a year end donation in 2021, please consider the MSMS Foundation.
Founded in 1945 by Michigan physicians for Michigan physicians, the MSMS Foundation is the nonprofit charitable organization of MSMS. Its purpose is to advance the field of health for the public good and is the umbrella organization for the MSMS Center for Physician Education and Leadership. Its mission is to:
- Support public or professional education, research programs, and projects in the field of health;
- Encourage the advancement of healthy lifestyles and the prevention, diagnosis, or cure of disease; and,
- Provide support for physicians who suffer impairment.
Philanthropy will focus on supporting projects and activities that are meaningful to the medical profession including developing future physicians and physician leadership and the practice of medicine. Community-based projects should engage both physicians and community leaders.
