Benefits of Donating Money

Individuals donate to worthy causes each year. Why do people give? Because contributions support good causes, change lives, and make a difference in the community in numerous ways. Giving money to causes like IMU directly benefits the people we serve. But that’s just part of the story. There are many benefits for the donor as well.

Help People in Need

Your donation can make a real difference in assisting prospective nursing students, who would otherwise be unable to pursue their passion to become a nurse. Partner with IMU to make an impact in the lives of individuals locally and across our global community.

• WHO estimates that the world will need an additional 9 million nurses and midwives by the year 2030 (For all countries to reach Sustainable Development Goal 3 on health and well-being).
• Investing in nurses and midwives is good value for money. The report of the UN High Level Commission on Health Employment and Economic Growth concluded that investments in education and job creation in the health and social sectors result in a triple return of improved health outcomes, global health security, and inclusive economic growth.
