Become Our Partner in Advancing Patient Care…
Penn is a regional and national leader in cardiac care and research.
To accelerate discovery and the pace at which life-saving procedures, devices, and medications reach the public
we established the Penn Cardiovascular Institute in 2005.
The recently opened Penn Heart and Vascular Center integrates expert care and clinical research with a focus on greater convenience for patients.
Financial support from friends and grateful patients allows us to pursue avenues of discovery that frequently can not be
supported by clinical revenue or grant funding. Your donation enables us to seize unexpected opportunities not anticipated in the annual budget process.
Help us by becoming our partner in scientific discovery. Thank you!
Tribute Gifts
Gifts may be made in memory of a loved one, in honor of a special person or major life event.
In these cases we send an acknowledgement of your gift to the honoree or family of the person being memorialized.
Stock Gifts
The Cardiovascular Institute and the Cardiovascular Division can accept gifts of stock.
Gifts of appreciated securities are a highly tax-effective way of supporting our mission while reducing your tax burden.
Unrestricted Gifts
These are donations that are allocated at the discretion of the Director of the Cardiovascular Institute without regard to a specific program or topic.
Unrestricted gifts give the Director the flexibility to fund areas with the greatest need and rapidly respond to emerging opportunities
not budgeted for in the current fiscal year.
Restricted Gifts
Many donors wish to support specific programs or types of research.
Gifts designated to a specific use are referred to as "restricted" gifts.
Grateful patients frequently wish to support research in the specialty area of their personal physician.
Restrictions may also be as broad as a component of our tripartite mission; research, education, or clinical care.
Endowed Funds
An endowed fund holds a gift or "principal" in a sub-account of the University’s investment pool.
Only the interest earned on the principal each year is available for use by the Cardiovascular Institute and the Cardiovascular Division.
Endowed funds may be "named" and live on in perpetuity offering an excellent opportunity to memorialize or honor someone.
For example, The Jane and John Doe Fund for Electrophysiology Research. A minimum gift of $25,000 is required to create an endowed fund.
Virtually any project, program, or facility related to the Cardiovascular Institute or the Cardiovascular Division may be named
in return for a gift that provides support at a level that will ensure the program’s future well-being.
