For Transformational Efforts

Yale offers a unique opportunity to name its School of Public Health with a transformative investment that will transcend borders in improving millions of lives and protecting humankind, now and long into the future. With the increased endowment support that such a gift could provide, the school could offer debt-free education to public health students – the world’s future frontline leaders. Endowment resources can ensure that YSPH attracts and retains the very best faculty, ensuring that their research is nurtured, sustained, and translated into impactful solutions to the most pressing public health challenges worldwide.

A gift to name the 60 College Street building would help to grow the school’s endowment, allowing YSPH to recruit and retain the brightest and the best who will make a lasting impact on the future of public health.

YIGH is the focal point for global health at Yale, bringing together expertise and knowledge from across campus with partners around the world. By actively collaborating across disciplines and seizing opportunities for innovation through a multi-school partnership, YIGH aims to accelerate the translation of scientific discoveries into better health for all.

A foundational naming gift will enable Yale to establish a multidisciplinary institute to sustain and accelerate the extraordinary advances that YSPH and the Yale School of Medicine (YSM) have made during the pandemic, and to advance work on predicting and preventing the next one.

The Rapid Response Fund provides support to enable Yale faculty and students to respond to emergent public health threats around the world in real time. Immediate emergency public health funding is crucial to life-saving interventions. With this support, the fund seeks to bridge the gap and connect passionate donors with faculty and students on the front lines of these ever-evolving crises.

Responding to climate change presents the greatest public health opportunity of the 21st century, with the potential to convey enormous and immediate health benefits that could save millions of lives globally each year. The Yale Center on Climate Change and Health utilizes the University’s multidisciplinary expertise and global reach to help safeguard the health of human populations from the adverse impacts of climate change and human activities that cause climate change.

Launched in 2013, IHY is a university-wide catalyst for innovative solutions that address challenges in health and education. The only social entrepreneurship program housed at a school of public health, IHY challenges students to create sustainable solutions to public health needs around the world.
