U of T Giving Day

Celebrating the Power of Philanthropy,
Championing Inclusive Excellence

Temerty Medicine is proud to join the broader University of Toronto community in the third annual U of T Giving Day. From now until Wednesday, March 26th, join us as we celebrate the power of philanthropy at Temerty Medicine and offer our collective thanks to the many donors whose philanthropic support underpins every aspect of our work.

This U of T Giving Day we're highlighting inclusive excellence. We'll be recognizing Temerty Medicine’s oversized impact on health and health care, and how the difference we make is enhanced even further by our ability to bring together diverse ideas, talent, experiences and perspectives.

“By helping me, donors have helped my family. Their financial help has already had a generational impact."

Give, Go, Share: Three Ways to Participate

1. GIVE

U of T Giving Day is the perfect time to support Temerty Medicine with a donation.  

While contributions to any Temerty Medicine research or education initiative will be celebrated, Giving Day has also unlocked an exciting matching opportunity. New donations made on or before March 26th to Temerty Medicine's Dean's Priority Fund, will be matched dollar-for-dollar (up to $1,000, while matching funds last). All donations will generate a receipt for Canadian tax purposes. 

The Dean's Priority Fund supports areas of highest need, helping Temerty Medicine advance health research and education for all learners and faculty members.
