Public Health Can't Wait — Neither Can We.

The Tulane University Celia Scott Weatherhead School of Public Health and Tropical Medicine has spent over a century preparing the people who protect us all. Today, we need your help to keep that work going.

What we do

Public health is everywhere — and everything. It's preventing the next epidemic before it becomes a headline. It's mapping lead in soil, monitoring blood pressure, and improving food access right where you live. It's designing walkable streets and policies that make healthy choices the easy ones. It's fighting malaria and malnutrition in the communities that need it most.

The moment we're in

Resources are shrinking. The need is not.

Public health is under pressure. Research funding is being cut, programs are being scaled back, and students who came here to change the world need our support now more than ever.

Physicians treat illness. Public health prevents it. Your gift is an investment in the work that happens before the crisis — the quiet, essential labor that keeps communities alive and well.

Where your gift goes

Every dollar raised through Give Green goes directly to student scholarships, programs, and hands-on training — so passion becomes purpose. It fuels research that reaches from New Orleans neighborhoods to global health crises. And it ensures that when the next challenge comes, we're prepared to meet it.

Prevention is always cheaper — and kinder — than response.

30 hours. One chance to make it count.

Join the Tulane community in building a healthier world — for our neighbors, our students, and generations we haven't met yet.
