Every year, 1 in 100 babies in the U.S. is born with congenital heart disease. Nearly 30% of these children face open-heart surgery. Yet pediatric heart research is still underfunded, leaving many children reliant on treatments meant for adults instead of solutions designed for growing hearts. At A Giving Heart Foundation, we fund breakthrough pediatric research that transforms possibilities for children. This technology could greatly reduce the need for open-heart surgery. Supporting innovation today accelerates breakthroughs that bring us closer to a future where childhood CHD is no longer a lifelong diagnosis.

Who We Are

A Giving Heart Foundation was created after the Berk family’s son, Brayden, was born with aortic valve stenosis and required heart surgery at just one month old. What began as one family’s response to uncertainty has grown into an all volunteer 501(c)(3) nonprofit with a bold vision for children living with congenital heart disease (CHD).

Today, the foundation has raised millions to fund innovative research and critical medical technologies. Every dollar moves us closer to a future where children with CHD can live longer, healthier lives.
