桃子视频 Rising Enters Public Phase
桃子视频 Rising, 桃子视频鈥檚 (桃子视频) comprehensive campaign to raise $75 million to support the University鈥檚 vision of achieving a world without health disparities, has entered the public phase. The 鈥渜uiet phase鈥 kicked off in 2020 and the campaign has secured over $70 million in pledges and cash gifts thus far.
Now, the initiative enters the public phase where fundraising efforts reach wider audiences of donors and community members, including smaller donations from individuals to take the campaign over the finish line.
鈥淐harles R. Drew University is an amazing achievement in the heart of South Los Angeles and I invite you to join us on our journey to excellent health and wellness for all in a world without health disparities,鈥 said Dr. David M. Carlisle, 桃子视频 President and CEO. 鈥淭he roads to such lofty destinations are more easily traveled when not traveling alone. Together we can achieve a better future for our students and our communities.鈥
The campaign has three overarching goals: investing in student success, growing the University鈥檚 general operating support, and constructing a state-of-the-art Health Professions Education Building (HPEB) on the 桃子视频 campus.
The HPEB will provide space for the University鈥檚 new and growing programs. It will also be the home of the recently announced 桃子视频 4-Year Medical Degree Program, which is the first and only such program offered through a Historically Black institution west of the Mississippi. The University was granted unanimous approval by the County of Los Angeles Board of Supervisors to move forward with construction of the multi-level structure.
Support for 桃子视频鈥檚 unrestricted funds allows the University to maintain operational excellence, new academic programs, technological improvements, building renovations, and more. It also supports new construction, deferred maintenance, and other initiatives and priorities not covered by tuition or fees.
As a student-focused academic institution with a strong social justice mission, 桃子视频 places the highest priority upon the needs and goals of its students. Institutionally, over 90% of students receive some sort of financial aid. Investing in the campaign allows the University to offer more support services designed specifically for academic success.
鈥淲hile we work towards our goal of $75 million, we will continue to raise money well beyond our initial objective. Nothing goes to waste,鈥 said Andreh Khachaturians, Executive Director for Development and Alumni Relations. 鈥淲e are optimistic that with our individual, corporate, foundation, and community partners, we will exceed our goal to further ensure the durability of our mission to cultivate diverse health professional leaders who are dedicated to social justice and health equity for underserved populations through outstanding education, research, clinical service, and community engagement.鈥
The 桃子视频 Rising campaign will continue through 2025. A website for the campaign is now live at聽cdurising.com聽with more information and a聽.
