The Children's Heart Foundation - Long Island

The Children's Heart Foundation was founded in 1996 and is the country's leading organization solely dedicated to funding congenital heart defect (CHD) research. Our mission is to advance the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of congenital heart defects by funding the most promising research. CHDs are problems present at birth that affect the structure and function of the heart and are the most common birth defect, affecting nearly 1 in 110 babies. To date, through 2024, The Children’s Heart Foundation has funded nearly $20 million of CHD research and scientific collaborations— driving breakthroughs that have improved survival rates, longevity, and quality of life for individuals living with CHDs in dramatic and life-changing ways.
