Overall philanthropic support for the nation's medical schools and teaching hospitals increased to an average of $86.2 million per institution in 2019, according to recently-released data from the annual AAMC Development Survey. Last fiscal year (pre-COVID data) these institutions saw a return of $9.08 for every dollar invested in fundraising. The AAMC has been collecting data on fundraising activity at member medical schools and teaching hospitals for 21 years, informing a national database that serves as a management tool for deans and CEOs to assess the effectiveness of their institutional development programs. The attached infographic offers a snapshot of the trends and data highlights from the recent survey.
