How Your Gift Helps the Brady Urological Institute
At the Brady Urological Institute, we have a long-standing tradition of delivering best-in-class urologic care, conducting cutting-edge research, and training the next generation of expert urologists. Through a collaborative multidisciplinary effort, our providers work to prevent, treat, and, when possible, cure the most challenging urologic diseases and disorders.
Philanthropic support for the Brady enables our physicians, scientists, and trainees to answer the most challenging medical questions, leading to improvement in the lives of our patients and others throughout the world. We welcome gifts in all amounts and for a variety of purposes.
Your gift helps us sustain our mission and can be made in many ways, for a range of purposes:
Supporting Our Work
Contributions can be made for general support or designated to benefit the work of a specific physician or area of research.
Investments in Research
Opportunities to invest in our research programs can contribute to faculty support, the addition and retention of critical research personnel, the purchase of equipment or the outfitting of crucial laboratory space.
Endowed Gifts
Endowed gifts provide the Brady with a reliable, steady stream of dedicated funds in perpetuity to help underwrite the costs of research, training and patient care.
Why Give to the Brady Urological Institute?
Charitable contributions have provided the financial foundation for the Brady Urological Institute’s mission, vision and impact on urologic treatment and research since “Diamond Jim” Brady, a urology patient at The Johns Hopkins Hospital, donated more than $600,000 to establish what is now known as The James Buchanan Brady Urological Institute. In today’s dollars, Mr. Brady’s gifts to Johns Hopkins would total almost $16,000,000. This groundbreaking institute, the first of its kind in North America, placed patient care, laboratory research and teaching under one roof. It began a tradition of discovery that continues today.
The Brady Urological Institute, located in Baltimore, MD, treats a national and international patient base and is considered the preeminent center for urologic research in the world. Our international reputation is rooted in our people: bright, innovative surgeons, scientists and staff who love what they do. They thrive in our one-of-a-kind environment in which scientists and surgeons make our patients a priority.
Philanthropy provides our faculty with the resources needed to further their research and improve their clinical practice. With your support, future discoveries push the limits of current knowledge and expand the boundaries of our ability to educate, treat and cure. Thank you for being part of our program.
