JOIN US IN CELEBRATING A NEW YEAR AND NEW GOALS!

The TCI Foundation’s mission is to foster knowledge and philanthropy to enhance high-quality health care in Texas. The TCI Foundation is an organization operated exclusively for educational and charitable purposes in support of the Texas Club of Internists. For the past fifteen years, the Foundation has provided tax deductible funds (or, for older members, qualified charitable distributions from our IRA’s or even legacy bequests) to help pay for Texas Club members’ continuing medical education.

Texas Club members, as we celebrate the start of a new year and new opportunities, we hope that you will join us in contributing to the TCIF so the Foundation can continue to support our outstanding TCI CME for our members. We are honored to share that your giving in 2024 totaled $47,700! Please help us exceed that generosity and let's DOUBLE it for 2025!

Donations to the TCIF can be given at any time during the year and are greatly appreciated.

Donations can be made at the online link below or via check and mailed to: TCIF, PO Box 170897, Austin, TX 78717

  • ENDOWED LECTURESHIP

Endowed lecture funds generate spendable income to support lectures for TCI. Endowed lectures are oftentimes in honor of an individual and are typically annual, however some are more or less frequent. Please contact us if you have an endowed lecture in mind that you would like to see at one of our meetings.

  • HONOR A COLLEAGUE

If you know of a colleague, member or friend that you would like to honor with a donation to the Foundation, we would love to be your choice for this special recognition. For example, has someone you know recently won an award? We can ask friends and colleagues in TCI to donate in honor of this physician’s outstanding achievement and share the excitement!

  • TCI MEMBER MEMORIAL AND REMEMBRANCE

If you would like to honor a TCI Member who has passed away by making a contribution to the TCI Foundation in lieu of flowers or other donations, please let us know and well inform the family of your generous gift. Memorial donations are recognized on our Remembrance page on the TCI website.

  • LOVING TRUST

The TCI has been an integral part of internal medicine physicians and their families since 1924. The club is not only a professional meeting organization with exceptional CME programs, but it is also a group of lifelong friends that make memories travelling together each year to amazing locations. In the past, several members have left a portion of their estate to the TCI to give back to colleagues and friends in the club after they’ve passed. If you’ve enjoyed being a member of TCI and have lifelong memories with your spouse and friends, please don’t hesitate to talk with family members and include the TCI Foundation in your will. 

If you have additional questions about making a contribution to the TCIF,  please email us at [email protected] so that we can offer our assistance and express our gratitude.
