Generosity springs eternal. For proof, consider the year in philanthropy at OHSU. Through a rising tide of philanthropic investment, OHSU supporters showed a commitment to health and well being that can weather even the fiercest economic storms.
In the fiscal year ending June 30, donors across the region and beyond contributed some $78.5 million in private support to advance OHSU and Doernbecher, exceeding ambitious goals set more than a year ago.
“I am both struck and invigorated by the incredible strength of commitment shown this year by our philanthropic partners,” said OHSU President Joe Robertson, M.D., M.B.A. “Year in and year out, we simply could not achieve so much without that confidence and support. It is the margin of excellence at OHSU.”
Donor commitment at OHSU bucked the national trend, in which private support for higher education has declined steeply – down nearly 20 percent in 2009 according to a recent development survey by the Association of American Medical Colleges, which tracks the impact of philanthropy on the nation’s academic health centers.
