$50 Million Challenge: Double Your Donating Power

Help unlock $50 million for Yale School of Nursing! When you make an endowed gift to any area of YSN, the university will make an equal and unrestricted contribution to YSN's general endowment. Imagine what a combined $100 million from donors and the university can do for Yale nurses and midwives, now and for decades to come! Time is running out as this challenge ends June 30, 2026.

Your gift can establish permanent scholarships for Yale's rising generation of advanced practice nurses and midwives. You can underwrite funding for critical equipment or innovation in the classroom. Or you can help recruit the outstanding faculty who are a hallmark of Yale's nursing education—all while doubling your impact.
