The Michigan Difference

Setting the most ambitious fund-raising goal in its history, the University of Michigan launched The Michigan Difference this past May, a campaign to raise $2.5 billion University-wide — the largest fund-raising campaign ever undertaken by a public university. The U-M Health System, as a significant part of the University, seeks to raise $550 million of the overall U-M goal, including $50 million in new bequest intentions.

The Michigan Difference Campaign will help ensure that the University of Michigan’s role in medicine in America continues to flourish, that its promise of greater health and happiness for the citizens of Michigan, the Midwest, the nation and the world — a promise that has endured for more than a century and a half — will continue to benefit generations to come.

Throughout the campaign, scheduled to conclude in 2008, Medicine at Michigan will chronicle Health System progress toward its fund-raising goals in the areas of support for students, faculty, facilities and research and disciplinary programs.
