The primary function of the Office of Development is to execute a comprehensive alumni and friends fundraising program that secures gifts for operational and special needs of the College.

With planned giving, you can continue your support and make a lasting impact on Meharry, our graduates, and the communities we serve. For more information about planned giving, contact Gloria D. Sanders, Senior Development Officer at 615.327.6512 or at gsanders@mmc.edu.

Stewardship and Recognition

Meharry Medical College seeks a transparent relationship with all supporters; this includes handling generous gifts responsibly and satisfying all requirements for disclosure.

Unrestricted gifts are directed to our annual giving program known as the Vision Fund. Sixty percent (60%) of all unrestricted funds directly impact students on their academic journey. It is this sort of fiscal responsibility that has led to many generous, long-term donor relationships. These relationships are recognized in three recognition societies:

Guardians of Our Legacy
Recognizes alumni whose cumulative gifts total $100,000+.

Circle of Friends
Recognizes donors at varied giving tiers ranging from $1,000–$100,000. Click here for more information.

West Society
Recognizes planned gift commitments. Click here for more information.
