100 YEARS ~ 100 DONORS ~ $1,000 EACH: FUND OUR FOUNDATION!
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. Did you know that the TCI Foundation paid more than $20,000 towards our Denver continuing medical education and $60,000 towards our Chicago CME? The audiovisual bill for our Chicago meeting alone was $20,000. These sound like large expenses; we want you to know that your club leaders always work towards obtaining good value for our money.
Texas Club members, in honor of our 100th anniversary year, we hope that you will join us in contributing to our TCI Foundation so the Foundation can continue to support our outstanding TCI CME for our members. Will you help meet our goal of 100 members each donating $1,000 in recognition of this milestone? To avoid the electronic bank fees, send a check to TCIF, PO Box 170897, Austin, TX 78717 or click here to make your online contribution TODAY! Let’s share in keeping our Club financially strong as we begin our next 100 years. We will report how this campaign is progressing at our September meeting and in the months to come!
Thank you to our donors as we reach towards our goal! Check back often and watch our GRATITUDE GROW!

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.
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.
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.
