Make a leadership gift


The Heart & Stroke Caring Hearts Circle includes our most dedicated supporters, who donate $1,000 or more to fight heart disease and stroke by preventing disease, saving lives and promoting recovery.

Donors at this level help Heart & Stroke make a larger impact on strategic areas of emphasis. When you join the Caring Hearts Circle, you can help us:

  • Invest in life-saving research through our commitment of $300 million over 10 years to advance scientific discovery.
  • Improve women’s heart and brain health by launching a bold new initiative to reduce the rates of death and disability for Canadian women.
  • Improve the health of Indigenous people through a national strategy, based on the principles of health reconciliation, to help close the gap in health between Indigenous and non-Indigenous people.
  • Promote recovery for heart disease and stroke survivors by actively working with newly diagnosed individuals — and their families and care partners — to help them improve their recovery and avoid future incidents.
  • Give children and youth a healthy start by instilling active living and healthy eating habits that kids can carry with them throughout their lives.

Make a difference today. Help save lives and improve the lives of millions of others with your leadership donation.
