Honoring the Legacy of ISHLT Members, Supporters, and Loved Ones

The ISHLT Foundation Honor & Memorial Giving Program provides a meaningful way to celebrate the lives, achievements, and lasting contributions of ISHLT members, mentors, colleagues, patients, and loved ones.

A gift made in honor or in memory of someone special creates a lasting legacy by supporting research, education, leadership development, and innovation that improve the care of patients with advanced heart and lung disease worldwide. Through these tribute gifts, the values and dedication of those we honor continue to inspire progress and benefit future generations.

 Creating a Lasting Legacy

The ISHLT community—and the broader fields of transplantation, mechanical circulatory support, and advanced heart and lung failure care—are shaped by extraordinary individuals. This includes not only clinicians, scientists, and Society members, but also patients whose courage, resilience, and lived experiences inspire our work, as well as family members, caregivers, and supporters who make meaningful contributions in their own ways.

 How Your Gift Makes a Difference

Tribute gifts made through the ISHLT Foundation Honor & Memorial Giving Program directly support:

• Research grants fueling transformative discovery
• Professional development opportunities for future leaders
• Educational initiatives that strengthen clinical excellence and innovation

Your generosity ensures that ISHLT remains at the forefront of advancing care for patients with advanced heart and lung disease.

 Recognition & Tribute Opportunities

To honor these meaningful contributions, the ISHLT Foundation will:

• Display the names of honored individuals at the ISHLT Annual Meeting through a dedicated tribute board and rotating digital presentation
• Acknowledge tribute gifts in the Foundation Annual Impact Report and donor recognition materials
• Feature select tribute stories on the Foundation website
