Why Your Support Matters
Fuel Lifesaving Research
When you donate, you drive innovation. Since 1949, your generosity has helped fuel a $5.7 billion investment in research, funding over 47,000 projects—including the work of 14 Nobel Prize-winning scientists. In 2022 alone, we enabled 868 new projects with $178 million in grants, accelerating discoveries like cholesterol inhibitors and drug-coated stents. Be part of the next breakthrough by donating today.
Support Hands-On CPR Training
Each year, over 350,000 people experience cardiac arrest outside of a hospital, with only 10% surviving due to lack of timely CPR. Thanks to donor support, the American Heart Association trains 22 million people annually, doubling survival rates. Your generosity can help bring life-saving CPR training to more communities, empowering people to act in critical moments.
Empowering Women’s Heart Health
Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death for women, with nearly 45% of women aged 20+ affected. Through Go Red for Women, donor support helps raise awareness, improve care, and address unique risks like pregnancy and menopause. Together, we’re closing the gaps in women’s heart health. Donate now to save the lives of mothers, daughters, and sisters.
Building Health Through Food
Good nutrition is essential for heart health, yet 1 in 10 U.S. households faces food insecurity. Poor diet contributes to 45% of cardiovascular deaths, making access to healthy food critical. Through the Food Is Medicine initiative, donor support provides fresh, nutritious food to families in need, improving heart health and preventing chronic disease. Together, we can transform lives, one meal at a time.
