ABOUT THE SSH FUND
The SSH Fund is a voluntary philanthropic initiative started in 2023. The purpose of the SSH Fund is to provide financial resources for important member-driven initiatives such as IMSH scholarships and research awards. As funds are raised each year, a portion of the money is distributed to create immediate impact, and a portion is placed in a reserve fund that will create a foundation for long-term sustainability. Over time, as the needs of our members and the SSH community evolve, so will the SSH Fund.
The Society for Simulation in Healthcare is a 501(c)(3) organization, and gifts are considered tax-deductible for US donors. Please consult with a qualified financial advisor when making charitable giving decisions.
