Jefferson Giving Day is an annual fundraising event that celebrates the impact of collective generosity across our communities. Our theme — You + Jefferson — highlights how every one of us helps strengthen our community and mission. When we give back, we become a part of something bigger than ourselves, and we all benefit.
A World-Class Jefferson Medical Education
Jefferson is home to more living graduates than any other medical school in the country and has awarded more than 31,000 medical degrees since 1824. Proudly known for rewriting industry standards and training visionary physicians to think outside of the box, we are educating future physicians who will form and lead the integrated healthcare delivery and research teams of tomorrow.
This forward‑looking spirit is most recently evident with the launch of the Clinical and Translational Sciences Center, a significant milestone that will promote scientific discovery and more quickly move meaningful innovations from the labs to patients to communities. The Center will also serve to train future biomedical researchers and scientists. Your support ensures progress like this continues for Jefferson and future medical students.
Make your gift to support the medical college today!

Today is a chance to look forward. Jefferson Giving Day isn’t just about what we can do in this moment. It’s about what we can achieve together tomorrow.
Because of you, what’s on the horizon is so inspiring: stronger clinical and academic programs, life-changing research, and deeper community partnerships.
A patient facing a tough diagnosis will hear a Jefferson doctor say, “We’ve got you.”
A student will open an email that says, “This donor-funded scholarship is yours.”
A neighbor will see Jefferson in their community and know, “We’re committed to you.”
Every gift today leads to real impact tomorrow, the kind that improves lives. I encourage you to join me and support a Jefferson program or location that is meaningful to you this Giving Day.
Thank you for being a part of the Jefferson community!
