Discovery Society

The Discovery Society works to raise awareness of VCU Medical Center and fund innovative research.

Established in 2016, the Discovery Society unites people from the greater Williamsburg area who strive to raise the visibility of VCU Medical Center and financially support important healthcare initiatives. With an annual gift of $1,000 or more to any fund across the MCV Campus, donors are welcomed in as members of the Discovery Society. These gifts help sustain our efforts to advance patient care in your community and forge ahead with groundbreaking research.

For more information, please contact Brian Thomas, Vice President and Chief Development Officer, at bthomas@mcvfoundation.org or call 804-828-0067.
