The Young Neurosurgeons Circle of Giving was established in 2016 to introduce neurosurgical residents into the culture of philanthropy with the goal of increasing donations over their lifetime and eventual membership in the NREF’s premier recognition society, the Cushing Circle of Giving.

Membership is open to residents who demonstrate a commitment to advancing neurosurgery with a contribution of $500 or more. Contributions can be directed to any NREF fund and can be a one-time contribution, monthly or annual installments, or as part of a tiered plan during the course of residency.
