“One of the things you need to decide as a philanthropist is, where do you get the most bang for the buck The University of Iowa is staffed with very competent people who have a vision. And I think that our contribution will make a significant difference.” John Pappajohn Honorary Co-chair Iowa First campaign 5
Make a Difference Iowa First will generate substantial resources for research, faculty recruitment and enrichment, student scholarships, and patient care. That’s why your support is so important. Please consider making a gift to this historic campaign. Your participation will provide hope to patients, give much-needed assistance to medical students and their mentors, and bolster support for leading-edge research and treatment programs. A major goal of this campaign is to secure endowed funds to support— in perpetuity—a variety of areas, including: Student Scholarships By current standards, the UI Carver College of Medicine offers a comparatively affordable medical education. However, students today still face large debt loads upon completion of a medical degree, and we run the risk of losing talented potential students to schools that are able to provide better financial assistance. Private support from our alumni and friends in the form of named, endowed scholarship funds will help the University provide critical resources to top students from Iowa and beyond. A commitment of $100,000 or more can endow a student scholarship. Faculty Positions In order to provide a world-class education for future physicians, the college must recruit and retain top faculty. Additionally, faculty members must have the necessary resources to maximize their potential as educators, clinicians, and researchers. Named faculty positions allow the college to reward and retain its most promising faculty members and attract the best recruits from around the country. A commitment of $1 million or more will fund an endowed professorship, while a pledge of $2 million or more will establish a faculty chair in a specific discipline. Research and Programming Funds Life-changing—and lifesaving—breakthroughs in medicine are happening at Iowa. While much of our funding for research comes from government and foundation grants, endowed funds are essential to our success. They provide important “bridge” funding for our more established programs, as well as start-up funding for promising young investigators. A gift of $50,000 or more can create an endowed research fund. With a gift to this momentous campaign, you can make a difference in the lives and work of UI physicians and other health-care professionals, medical students, faculty members, biomedical researchers, and patients and their families. Your generosity will help ensure that Iowa has the resources to develop important discoveries and breakthroughs. These important advances will lead to improved medical care for our patients, who come from all over Iowa, and in many cases, from all over the world. Please join us, and help the Iowa First campaign create a healthy new world. 6
