Building Endowments of 4 Historically Black Medical Schools | Full Event | Bloomberg Philanthropies

Our Greenwood Initiative announced the largest-ever gift to the four historically Black medical schools.

🩺 Charles R. Drew University of Medicine & Science

🩺 Howard University College of Medicine

🩺 Meharry Medical College

🩺 Morehouse School of Medicine

The new funding will also support the creation of a new medical school, the Xavier Ochsner College of Medicine. Our aim is to strengthen the schools’ endowments, their financial stability, and their capacity to respond to the rising costs of tuition, research, and operations.
