- Abstract
Philanthropic donations are an increasingly important funding source for academic medical centers. Minimal published data is available about factors that influence alumni donations to residency programs. We performed a cross-sectional analysis of a single-site dermatology and combined internal medicine-dermatology residency programs to assess factors impacting alumni donations. Donors tended to have graduated less recently (only 20% graduating after 2010) and practice in the same region of their alma mater (50%). Respondents preferred funds be allocated to resident needs over needs of medical students. Strategically engaging senior alumni and offering fund allocation opportunities could increase philanthropy, with alumni perceptions of the residency program warranting further investigation for their impact on donation decisions.
