Giving

The Department of Urology is supported by funds from private philanthropy and government and institutional grants. While every source of funding is important, private philanthropic support is especially vital to the success of the department's research activities. Over the years, the generosity of alumni, friends, and patients has enabled us to attract new physicians and scientists, and to initiate a number of projects that have led to major developments in research and treatment.

For your convenience, a number of giving options are available. These include outright gifts, appreciated assets such as securities, and pledges payable over a three- to five-year period. You can also donate to the Anthony J. Schaeffer, MD, Lectureship in honor of our past chair. This lectureship will enable the department to invite exceptional urologic experts to Northwestern to present on the latest breakthroughs and innovations in the field.
