Gift of Hope Community Foundation
About us
Established in 2018, the Gift of Hope Community Foundation raises funds to support Gift of Hope Organ & Tissue Donor Network’s mission and programs, to save and enhance the lives of as many people as possible through organ and tissue donation.
Our Mission: Giving the Gift of Hope
The Gift of Hope Community Foundation honors the legacy of organ and tissue donors and supports the families they leave behind. As the philanthropic and fundraising arm of Gift of Hope Organ & Tissue Donor Network, the foundation raises funds to support three pillars:
- Programs and services supporting all who have been touched by donation and transplantation
- Education & outreach initiatives
- Research & development endeavors
Our leadership
Gift of Hope Community Foundation’s Board of Directors guides the work we do to help educate the public about life-giving donation, engage and support donor families and advance scientific research to improve transplant patient outcomes.Â

Our impact
The Community Foundation supports our community throughout the donation journey by funding programs offered by donor family services, hospital development, and Gift of Hope community partnerships.
Your contribution helps save and heal lives.
Your generous contribution to the Foundation helps Gift of Hope educate the public about life-giving donation, as well as advance scientific research that can improve transplant patient outcomes and one day eliminate deaths on the transplant waiting list.
Whether it’s $5, $50 or any amount that is meaningful to you. Your contribution today means we provide for the individuals, families and communities who are counting on us.
Together, let’s continue to be the gift of hope for those who need it most.
