About our benefactor

In 2016, Ernest and Evelyn Rady, through the Rady Family Foundation, committed an unprecedented $30 million to support the Faculty of Health Sciences, which is now known as the Rady Faculty of Health Sciences.

Ernest [BComm/58, LLB/62, LLD/15] and his wife Evelyn [BA/60, BSW/61, MSW/67] dedicated the gift to the legacy of his parents, Rose and Max Rady [MD/21]. The latter was a UM-educated physician and namesake of the Max Rady College of Medicine.
Ernest, an alumnus in commerce and law who was recognized by UM with an honorary doctorate in 2015, is a business leader who is passionate about supporting important causes. His significant philanthropic and volunteer work has focused on education, children’s health and well-being, and scientific research.

The Radys’ transformational investment will support multidisciplinary health education and research at UM for generations to come.
