Make a difference

The GHI is dedicated to making a lasting contribution to finding solutions to global health challenges and your support and involvement is critical to sustaining and growing our efforts. Your gift of any amount will enhance GHI's ability to effectively address complex international health concerns, and to ensure that BU is an active participant in the community of organizations around the globe seeking a better future for all of Earth’s inhabitants.

We invite you to contact us and explore how you can make a difference in a way that matters most to you, including structuring a restricted or unrestricted gift donation. A gift to a restricted account would be utilized to address your targeted area of interest. A gift to our unrestricted fund will enable GHI to expand it's activities in some of the most resource challenged regions of the world. Our online donation form ensures that all info transmitted is encrypted and therefore the transaction is secure. If you prefer to speak with GHI directly, you may call John Douglas, GHI Administrator, at 617-414-1440 or email johnd@bu.edu.

The community of global health students and scholars at Boston University are grateful for your support and interest in the Global Health Initiative at Boston University.
