In partnership with a dedicated philanthropic community, the Office of Development and Alumni Affairs helped to transform NYU Langone Health into one of the top academic medical centers in the country and continues to foster significant advancements enterprise-wide. Our team recently completed a $3 billion campaign, which rallied tremendous local and national support, including NYU Grossman School of Medicine’s thriving alumni network. This remarkable base of individuals, families, foundations, and organizations provided critical funding for our large-scale Manhattan campus transformation and is a driving force behind the enterprise’s expansive research portfolio, innovations in medical education, and one of the nation’s best and safest patient care programs. In 2018 our School made history with its Tuition Free initiative, becoming the first top-tier medical school in the country to provide full-tuition scholarships to all MD degree students—funded entirely through philanthropy. And in the face of the COVID-19 pandemic, our team has mobilized, reorganized, and reimagined our mission of support for those striving to save and improve lives on the front lines and behind the scenes.
The Office of Development and Alumni Affairs is focused on carrying forward this extraordinary momentum and offers special opportunities for fundraising or other skilled professionals passionate about the power of philanthropy in healthcare and health education. We are a robust team of individuals bringing diverse professional and personal experiences to a creative, collaborative fundraising shop.
