LVADStrong is grateful for the organizations that support our mission through in-kind donations and services that help us operate responsibly, efficiently, and at scale. As a patient-led nonprofit charitable organization, our work depends not only on financial contributions, but also on mission-aligned partners who provide tools, infrastructure, and logistical support that strengthen our capacity to serve the LVAD community.
In-kind contributions play an important role in enabling LVADStrong to focus our limited financial resources on what matters most: patient and caregiver education, community-building, storytelling, and advocacy rooted in lived experience. These forms of support help us maintain professional operations, communicate effectively, and deliver programs that elevate patient voices across healthcare and research settings.
In-Kind Supporters
We thank organizations for their non-financial, in-kind contributions, which may include technology, software access, design tools, cloud services, shipping, and other forms of operational support.
These in-kind partnerships support behind-the-scenes infrastructure that allows LVADStrong to function as a modern, accountable nonprofit organization. Examples of this support may include computing hardware, productivity and collaboration software, design and communications tools, data storage, and shipping or logistics assistance for educational and outreach materials.
We are deeply appreciative of these contributions and the trust these organizations place in LVADStrong’s mission.
Independence & Transparency
LVADStrong is an independent, patient-led nonprofit charitable organization. Maintaining independence and credibility is central to our values and to the trust placed in us by patients, caregivers, clinicians, researchers, and the broader healthcare community.
In-kind support and sponsorship do not influence LVADStrong’s programs, educational content, advocacy priorities, messaging, or organizational positions. We retain full editorial and programmatic control over all activities, publications, events, and communications.
LVADStrong does not provide medical advice. We do not represent hospitals, device manufacturers, professional societies, or clinical decision-making bodies. Our role is to complement clinical care by focusing on lived experience, patient and caregiver perspectives, education, and community support.
Transparency matters. We strive to clearly distinguish between different types of support and to communicate openly about how partnerships are structured and how resources are used.
Sponsors Help Advance Our Mission
Operational and in-kind support enables LVADStrong to:
- Develop and maintain patient-focused educational resources
- Produce accessible, high-quality communications and outreach materials
- Support community engagement at conferences and events
- Improve internal systems for governance, compliance, and accountability
- Reduce administrative overhead so more resources can be directed toward programs
These contributions help ensure that LVADStrong remains sustainable, professional, and capable of growing responsibly as our reach expands.
