Aligned Sponsors
LVADStrong is grateful for the organizations that support our work through in-kind donations and services that help us operate efficiently and expand our reach within the LVAD community.
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.
We thank the following 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.
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.
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.
LVADStrong welcomes conversations with organizations interested in supporting our mission in ways that align with our values of independence, transparency, and patient-centered impact.
Support opportunities may include:
In-kind donations of technology, services, or operational resources
