You can provide a dependable and sustainable source of funding that allows National Medical Fellowships (NMF) to plan for the future with confidence. By making a monthly, quarterly, or annual contribution, donors ensure that NMF can continue to support aspiring physicians with scholarships, education and professional development programs, and more. This consistent support allows us to expand the number of brilliant scholars we serve, respond to emerging needs, and positively impact the physician shortage. 

Beyond sustaining our mission, recurring gifts also create a community of dedicated supporters who share in our long-term vision. Smaller, regular donations can add up to a significant impact over time, making it easier for donors to contribute in a meaningful way without a large one-time financial commitment. With every recurring gift, donors help NMF build a stronger health care workforce, ensuring that communities across the country have access to well-trained, compassionate physicians who share their lived experiences.  

Endowed gifts to National Medical Fellowships (NMF) provide a lasting source of financial stability, ensuring that our core programs, operational needs, and scholarship initiatives remain strong for generations to come. By establishing or contributing to an endowed fund, donors create a permanent resource that supports perennial priorities, such as need-based and emergency scholarships, mentorship programs, and leadership development initiatives. These funds are carefully managed, with only a portion of the earnings used each year, allowing the principal to grow and sustain NMF’s mission in perpetuity.  

The impact of endowed gifts extends beyond financial security—they make NMF more resilient and nimbler in addressing the evolving needs of aspiring physicians. With a reliable stream of income, NMF can respond to urgent challenges, seize new opportunities, and expand programs without being solely dependent on annual fundraising. Endowed support ensures that NMF can continue investing in future health care leaders, providing them with the resources they need to succeed and, in turn, serve communities across the country with excellence and compassion.
