Giving to Psychiatry
 |
| As a special incentive this year, all donors whose gifts or pledges to these funds in 2009 total $1,000 or more will receive a U-M Department of Psychiatry stadium blanket. |
Our strong American culture of philanthropy has influenced the writing of the U.S. tax code over the years in such a way that certain tax benefits accrue to those who make gifts to charitable institutions. A number of vehicles, such as charitable remainder trusts, charitable gift annuities and lead trusts offer tax benefits and provide income during the lifetime of the benefactor and spouse or others.

The Kenneth Chamberlain Scholarship Fund
This endowed fund, established to honor Dr. Kenneth Chamberlain, a beloved mentor and teacher to many who trained in our department, was created to ensure that top University of Michigan students need never be deterred by financial considerations from pursuing a psychiatry residency at Michigan. We aim to increase private support to offset the loan burden for fourth year UMMS students who match with our program, and at the same time, provide our department with an advantage in recruiting the best and brightest graduates from Michigan’s Medical School.
The John F. Greden Scholar in Residence Fund
This endowed fund was established in 2007 to honor Dr. Greden, who guided Michigan to the forefront of academic psychiatry while serving as chair of our Department from 1985 until 2007. This fund will allow us to invite a leading psychiatric investigator to U-M each year to pursue topics relating to mood disorders in educational presentations and collaborative contacts with our faculty and trainees. With enough donor support, we hope to initiate this program in 2010.
