On Wednesday, March 25, WMed will celebrate Giving Day 2026 in collaboration with Western Michigan University. The day offers our supporters the chance to give back to the medical school and be a part of a friendly challenge between WMed and the other colleges, academic programs, and athletic programs across WMU’s campus to increase donor engagement.
At WMed, this year’s Giving Day campaign will fund three important initiatives that support our aspiring physicians at the medical school – the White Coat Program, the Dean’s Circle Leadership Giving Society, and the WMed Fund.
Support Our Philanthropic Pathways to Educational Innovation and Excellence
Thank you for your interest in supporting WMed’s philanthropic pathways to educational innovation and excellence. We hope you are inspired to make a contribution of your time, talent, or treasure to support the mission of the medical school.
Financial contributions to The WMed Fund or The Dean’s Circle Leadership Giving Society support the philanthropic pathways to educational innovation and excellence. You may make an online donation to either giving program by clicking on the Support WMed button below.
-
Gifts toward student success are used to expand the educational opportunities of medical students and resident physicians and fund innovations in the medical school curriculum.
-
Gifts toward access and opportunity provide scholarship support to attract and retain WMed students. Scholarship support reduces student loan debt and helps to make a medical education more affordable for all students.
-
Gifts toward the discovery pathway ensure that WMed may continue to provide support for medical students to conduct research projects and to provide opportunities for medical students and graduate medical students to participate in medical research under the guidance of WMed faculty.
-
Donations for sustainability provide resources to ensure WMed can teach, perform medical research, and offer clinic services in safe, high quality, up-to-date facilities with the latest in technological equipment.

An Invitation to Support WMed
Giving to WMed makes you part of a leading group dedicated to the economic betterment of our community. WMed exists to educate learners, serve patients in our community, and create new knowledge that makes a difference in the world. Nothing is more important than preserving our mission.
