Your donation means everything to us.
It means we can devise new techniques to restore the rhythm to someone’s heart, get air flowing back into their lungs and give them more time with their family.
You’ll be happy to know there is a direct correlation between the amount of money donated to heart research and positive outcomes.
Even better, the value of any donation you make will have the impact of eight times that amount.
It has been shown that improvements in heart health, and care of the heart, produce an estimated saving of $8 for every $1 that is invested into cardiovascular research in this country.
The Baird Institute receives no government or ongoing source funding. We rely solely on the generous contributions of people like you to fund the essential work that supports many seriously ill members of our community.
Even a small or one-off donation can make a big difference.
