How the successful recruitment of 20+ new development professionals has contributed to Mount Sinai’s successful multi-billion campaigns

Formed in 2013 through the merging of the Mount Sinai Medical Center and Continuum Health Partners, the Mount Sinai Health System (Mount Sinai) is a comprehensive healthcare system that is internationally renowned for its research, patient care, and education. Mount Sinai is comprised of the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai and eight hospital campuses.

Development Guild DDI was retained in 2008 to help redesign the structure of the development office and recruit senor level staff for a campaign, which eventually raised more than $1.5B. To date, Development Guild has recruited over 20 fundraisers to Mount Sinai from such institutions as Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, New York-Presbyterian, NYU Langone Medical Center, University of California, Berkeley, University of Chicago, and University of Pennsylvania. We are currently recruiting additional fundraising staff in preparation for Mount Sinai’s $2B campaign, which focuses on 5 priorities for investment: recruiting talent, technology and bioinformatics, clinical and research programs, redesigning infrastructure, and innovative medical education.
