Endowed Gifts
An endowment gift to Northwestern provides a brighter picture for the University’s future. When you support Northwestern’s endowment, you give a gift with both immediate and long-term benefits.
Here’s how it works: endowment gifts are invested, and a portion of the annual income from the investment is used to address immediate needs at the University. The remaining funds are reinvested to ensure indefinite support.
The Best Time is Now
The stars aligned in 1955 when Jack Frable ’59 MD, ’60 GME, ’64 GME, ’97 P and Mary Ann Frable ’59 MD, ’64 GME met during their first year in medical school. The Frables have since created a lasting legacy at Northwestern’s Feinberg School of Medicine by establishing the Frable Medical Students Scholars Program, an endowment that provides merit-based scholarships to help the school attract the most talented medical students.
“The Frables’ incredible generosity allowed me to attend my top-choice medical school, a gift I will forever be grateful for,” says Frable Scholar Matthew Stratton. “But equally important, the Frables’ commitment to Feinberg has taught me the importance of fostering and investing in the next generation of medical students. They have inspired me to do the same after I graduate.”
