HK philanthropist鈥檚 Harvard gift
Print Edition
A US$350 million gift pledged to Harvard University’s School of Public Health is the largest single donation in the university’s long history, officials said, and will help bolster research in several key areas including global pandemics.
The donation comes from a philanthropic foundation established by the family of T.H. Chan, a real estate developer from China’s Hong Kong who died in 1986. In a rarity for Harvard, the school will be renamed the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health.
Julio Frenk, the school’s dean, said the “transformational gift” will help students and faculty working to stop pandemics such as Ebola and malaria, cancer and obesity, among others.
