Together, we can transform the future of heart and lung transplantation—and save lives

As the philanthropic partner of the ISHLT, the ISHLT Foundation's mission is to fund breakthroughs in the treatment of advanced heart and lung disease, including innovative therapies, transplantation and mechanical circulatory support. We are committed to nurturing the next generation of clinician-scientists, and ensuring that every patient, regardless of location or circumstance receives the best possible care.

Why Your Support Matters

Each year, thousands of patients around the world receive a second chance at life through heart and lung transplantation. However, the journey from diagnosis to recovery is complex, and there is still much to learn and improve upon. The ISHLT Foundation is committed to leading the way in this effort by providing important grants and awards to investigators on the brink of changing the field. Your contributions will have a direct impact, supporting initiatives such as:

  • The Francis D. Pagani, MD Endowed Mentorship Award – Recognizes mentorship of clinicians, educators or researchers dedicated to the treatment of advanced heart and lung disease.
  • Career Development Grants – Empowering early-career clinician-scientists to pursue innovative research.
  • Research Grants – Supporting bold, high-impact projects that could shape the future of care.

In 2024, we made incredible strides:

  • Funded groundbreaking research that drives innovation in heart and lung transplantation
  • Awarded career-building grants to young investigators
  • Provided education on access to care through a DEI workshop

But there is so much more to achieve. Your contribution today will help us expand these efforts in 2025 – advancing the science and practice in our field, developing the next generation of researchers/clinicians, and improving care for patients around the globe.

Thank you for considering this opportunity to make a profound difference. Together, we can transform the future of heart and lung transplantation—and save lives. Your support will not only drive progress in heart and lung transplantation but also provide hope to patients and families around the world.
