The Meharry-Vanderbilt Alliance Foundation is a not-for-profit private 501 (c) (3) fund raising and development foundation created to support the clinical, medical education, research and training initiatives in a joint collaboration between Meharry Medical College and Vanderbilt Medical Center.
Our Mission
Approved by our Board of Directors with representation from both Institutions, the mission of the Foundation is to seek forms of philanthropy to support the Alliance initiatives that are outside of traditional funding.
Our Future
The Foundation continues to match its mission with that of the Alliance partnership to find additional resources to fund shortfalls in the areas of clinical research, medical student support, and community engaged research.
The foundation also seeks resources to financially support more underrepresented students and those with an interest in primary care. Nationally, we have fallen behind in training more in primary care, which has had a devastating impact on the quality and cost of healthcare.
