We are seeking partnership opportunities with organisations facilitating multi-year programs that can effectively act upon grants from our foundation ranging between $25,000 to a maximum of $250,000 per year. Each year, we will evaluate our partnership based on achievement of mutually agreed upon annual impact goals.

Additionally, applying organizations must meet our organisational status requirements.

Overview

To improve the lives of 2.5 million underserved structural heart and critical care patients by 2025, our funding focuses on the following types of programs, with preference given to partners that support underserved patients in multiple ways:

Detection:

  • Screening to detect structural heart disease
  • Public education on structural heart disease detection
  • Clinical education on structural heart disease detection

Treatment:

  • Structural heart disease treatment
  • Clinical education on structural heart disease treatment

Recovery:

  • Patient-to-patient structural heart disease pre- and post-treatment support
  • Clinical education on critical care recovery of cardiac and high-risk surgery patients

Detection

Detection of structural heart disease is the first step to improving patient lives. That’s why Every Heartbeat Matters supports programs that help underserved patients get the awareness and disease diagnosis they need including:

Treatment

Too many people die from structural heart disease when resources and treatment options are scarce. Every Heartbeat Matters supports programs that help underserved patients receive the structural heart care they need including:

  1. Structural heart disease treatment:
    • Medical treatment
    • Product donations
    • Wrap-around services that support care (such as transportation and case management programs)
  2. Clinical education on structural heart disease treatment

Recovery

Structural heart disease and critical care patients need to be able to recover from their treatments to ensure that they can fully heal, emotionally and physically, and get back to their lives and families. That’s why Every Heartbeat Matters is focused on supporting the patient journey, from detection, to treatment, and through recovery.
