Fundraising for Heart Disease Research
Fundraising strategies for heart disease research and cardiovascular health organizations.
Heart disease is the leading cause of death worldwide, yet it receives less public attention than many other conditions. Fundraising must bridge awareness and urgency.
Strategies That Work
- Heart walk events — community walks during American Heart Month (February)
- Go Red for Women campaigns — awareness events focused on women's cardiovascular health
- CPR training fundraisers — charge for life-saving training while raising funds for research
- Survivor stories — feature heart attack and surgery survivors in your giving appeals
- Corporate wellness partnerships — companies fund heart health programs for employees and community
- Memorial giving — families direct gifts to heart research after a cardiac-related loss
Seasonal Timing
February (American Heart Month) is your peak giving window. Plan your largest campaign around this awareness period and maintain momentum with survivor stories throughout the year.
