About Us


Massachusetts General Hospital is one of the world's top academic medical centers. It is the original and largest teaching hospital of Harvard Medical School, where nearly all our staff physicians serve on the faculty.


Mass General has pioneered medicine for more than 200 years, and we're thinking big about the future. In 2021, we launched our largest-ever comprehensive fundraising effort - The Campaign for Mass General - which seeks to raise $3 billion in philanthropic funding that will help us reach our four ambitious campaign goals, each grounded in a pillar of Mass General's historic mission to treat, discover, teach and serve.


Our Department


The Development Office is a vibrant and collaborative team focused on advancing the hospital's mission of health care excellence. We are committed to expanding the philanthropy that makes this mission possible.
