Dr. Thabele "Bay" Leslie-Mazwi (Chair, Neurology) explains how philanthropy is essential to the work we do in academic medicine, and why partnership with UW Medicine Advancement is a key to that success. Philanthropy can support our missions in each domain from education to research to clinical work. Focus on articulating the impact each donation will have on your work, utilize the unique skills of the Advancement team and the voice of your department leaders early on, and express continued gratitude for support received through your donor relationships.
