Historic Major Donation to Tel Aviv University: Faculty of Medicine to Be Renamed After Donors

Tel Aviv University (TAU) has received a transformative $125 million donation from the Gray Foundation, led by Jonathan Gray, President & COO of Blackstone, and his wife Mindy Gray.

This unprecedented donation – the largest in TAU’s history and the third-largest ever made to an academic institution in Israel – will significantly expand the capacity of the newly named Gray Faculty of Medicine and Health. It will support student enrollment growth, cutting-edge medical research, enhanced access for diverse communities, and improved clinical training and education.

We are deeply grateful to American Friends of Tel Aviv University and Julie Lipsett-Singer for their key role in making this historic achievement possible.
