Charitable giving to the Division of the Biological Sciences and the Pritzker School of Medicine is rewarding in many ways. There is the satisfaction of supporting an important cause, the excitement of seeing your gift lead to positive change, and in many cases, tangible financial benefits to you and/or another beneficiary, through tax advantages and the retention of lifetime income from the donated asset.
The Division of the Biological Sciences and the University of Chicago Hospitals are contributing to The CHICAGO Initiative with their own $550 million campaign, Spark Discovery, Illuminate Life.

On June 30, 2008, the University of Chicago Medical Center closed the books on the Spark Discovery, Illuminate Life campaign, raising $811 million against a goal of $550 million.
