About The NESS Charitable Foundation

The NESS Charitable Foundation was established in the early 1980s and exists to provide financial support for the betterment of surgery in New England, through the education offered at the NESS Annual Meetings, as well as the professional development of young surgeons through the NESS Resident and Fellow Research Presentation Day.

Specific contributions currently made by the NESS Charitable Foundation on an annual basis include:

• Support of the Spring Resident and Fellow Research Presentation Day
• Sponsorship of the Annual Meeting’s Samuel Jason Mixter Lecturer
• Sponsorship of the Nathan Smith Award at the Annual Meeting
• Sponsorship of the New Member, Resident, and Poster Prizes awarded at the Annual Meeting

In addition to the above, the Foundation is regularly called upon to help support other educational initiatives approved by the NESS Executive Committee that would benefit the surgical specialty.

The NESS Executive Committee encourages NESS members to make annual donations to this important resource. Please note that contributions can also be made through the purchase of the official necktie, bowtie, or scarf of the organization as a portion of those proceeds are automatically transferred to the Foundation.
