The title of this group, Mayo Sponsors, is deeply rooted at our institution. The name originated in 1969, during the earliest days of the Mayo Foundation Development Department. Today, it has been reactivated to emphasize the importance of significant annual support. The annual contribution of Mayo Sponsors ensures that Mayo will have the necessary resources to continue providing compassionate care for patients, advancing medical progress and educating our future physicians. Mayo Sponsors live throughout the United States and in many countries around the world.
Members represent all ages and walks of life.
Mayo patients, friends, individual and family philanthropic organizations, staff and retirees are Mayo Sponsors. Mayo Sponsors are recognized in appropriate Mayo Foundation publications. We do not publish the specific amount of a donor's gifts, and we will honor your request if you want your support to be anonymous.
