PAY IT FORWARD...WITH WORLD-CHANGING ROI.

We are a 501(c)(3) organization. That means that your donation to the Southern Medical Association is 100% tax-deductible. When you donate, your full investment goes to provide scholarships to 4th-Year medical students and to fund the research and education based programs of SMA.

Here's what your donation supports:

Scholarships

SMA and our members give over $50,000/Annually to M4 Medical Student Scholarships to support research and education efforts.

Physicians-In-Training

This is where future SMA leaders get their start.

Educational Events

The Annual PIT Conference provides over 120 Medical Students with the opportunity to present their research abstracts: a requirement for graduation.

The purpose of creating this policy is to reinstate this endowment and renew its original committed purpose to the best of our abilities. SMA Management conducted research into the original reason for and purposes of this fund. This policy takes the original intent and purpose of this fund and formalizes a process by which it will be utilized and managed going forward. This policy will be included in SMA Policies and Procedures and will be reviewed and refined each year.

In 1986 SMA established an Educational Endowment Fund to provide funding for scholarships, research projects and other programs supporting the educational purposes of the Association.
