Ways to Give
The Center is poised to make even greater contributions to science, medicine, and public health. Although we receive research support from federal agencies and foundations, philanthropic partnerships are a key means by which we are able to quickly respond to emerging threats and pursue promising new lines of research with a high-impact global-investment rating.
How Your Gifts Support the Center for Infection and Immunity
Your gifts help support the following programs:
- Groundbreaking research: Your support enables our scientists to pursue innovative research, basic investigations, and developing better diagnostic tools, all with the goal of yielding discoveries that can be translated into new and more disease identification as well as effective patient assessment tools.
- Global Alliance for Preventing Pandemics (GAPP): an international collaborative public health research center that establishes sustainable infrastructure for infectious disease discovery, surveillance, diagnostics, and response through global capacity building.
- Center for Solutions for ME/CFS: an interdisciplinary, inter-institutional NIH-funded Collaborative Research Center comprised of clinicians, clinical investigators, basic scientists who are committing to working together to understand the pathogenesis of ME/CFS and develop evidence-based strategies for interventions that prevent and mitigate disease.

Planned Gifts
With a little planning, your gift to the Center for Infection and Immunity can help achieve your financial, philanthropic, and estate-planning goals.
Planned gifts give back, allowing you to take a sizable income, capital gains, and estate deductions on your taxes. They can provide income for you and your loved ones for life. They can be much larger than other gifts, so you can leave a legacy that fits your philathropic goals.
