As America marks its 250th anniversary, we are reminded of an enduring civic tradition: people choosing to invest in ideas and institutions that strengthen their communities.
In North Texas, that spirit has helped advance medicine for nearly nine decades. Since 1939, Southwestern Medical Foundation has connected generous people with opportunities to inspire progress in medical research, education, and patient care, with UT Southwestern as our primary beneficiary.
In 2025, the Foundation crossed a remarkable milestone: more than $1 billion in grants awarded for medical progress since our founding. Today, North Texas has another opportunity to lead. Your gift can help support the people, ideas, and discoveries contributing to the next chapter of American medical innovation, right here in our community.
Southwestern Medical Foundation continues to earn Candid’s Platinum Seal and a Four-Star Rating from Charity Navigator, reflecting our commitment to strong governance, accountability, and transparency.
Southwestern Medical Foundation is an impact-driven public charity focused on building a sustainable funding source for innovative research, best-in-class medical education, and the highest standard of care.
Medical innovation depends on many sources of support, and philanthropy plays a distinctive role. It can provide early and flexible funding for promising research, support the education and training of physicians and scientists, and help institutions respond to emerging health needs.
As North Texas grows, so does the opportunity to strengthen our region’s role in American medicine. A gift on North Texas Giving Day helps Southwestern Medical Foundation invest where philanthropy can open doors for discovery, education, and care.
It is a tradition deeply rooted in Dallas and in the American story: people coming together, investing in possibility, and helping great ideas move forward.
