Unrestricted Support
NAM Annual Fund
While government agencies, foundations, and corporations fund many of the National Academy of Medicine’s activities, they are insufficient to sustain our vital programming and initiatives alone. The NAM depends on philanthropy from individuals to provide critical, unrestricted funding for the NAM’s ongoing role of providing leadership at the forefront of complex challenges in health and medicine.
Your donation to the NAM Annual Fund provides flexible, unrestricted resources that support ongoing activities and outreach efforts while also enabling the NAM to respond to emerging issues facing our nation and world in a timely manner every year.

His dynamic approach—marked by global collaboration, creative problem-solving, and a steadfast commitment to equity—has transformed how the NAM advances science, medicine, and policy to improve health worldwide.
Your donation is a direct investment in the continuation of Dr. Dzau’s trailblazing work. The Transformation Fund provides flexible funding for future NAM presidents to fuel new and innovative projects, ensuring the NAM can respond quickly and effectively to society’s most pressing needs. Contributions will help catalyze creative initiatives that shape the future of healthcare, technology, and education.
