Research Award Program
Sustaining Support Fuels Innovation
Our Annenberg Circle and Sustainers provide a steady pipeline of support for the research that shapes tomorrow’s future. With two levels of giving, Annenberg Circle donors first make a $25,000 five-year commitment. Once completed, Annenberg Circle Sustainers continue their investment with a $5,000 annual gift. These gifts demonstrate exceptional commitment to the long-term mission of the Foundation and fuel scientific growth across the specialty.
A Philanthropic Pioneer
A Steady Foundation
During Walter H. Annenberg’s long and distinguished career — businessman, investor, and diplomat — philanthropy was a fundamental value. His interests and generosity were vast, evidenced by his endowment of schools and universities, vigorous support of public television, and championing of the arts, science, and education.
Longstanding Commitment
Mr. Annenberg's commitment to the Dermatology Foundation was pivotal in its growth. A long-term Trusteee and benefactor, his five-year challenge grant in the late 1980’s launched a new generation of research and progress.
Sustaining the Momentum
The Annenberg Circle society honors his belief that we must sustain the momentum of research, continue to fund innovation and invest in tomorrow’s dermatology leaders.
2023 Annenberg Circle
The DF is pleased to recognize members of the Annenberg Circle for their commitment to progress and patient care. Each individual listed made a new AC commitment this year or continued to invest in the future of dermatology.
