The Children's Heart Foundation

Funding the most promising congenital heart defect research so that Heart Warriors everywhere can live longer, healthier lives.

The Children's Heart Foundation was founded in 1996 and is the country's leading organization solely dedicated to funding congenital heart defect (CHD) research. Our vision is a world in which everyone born with a congenital heart defect has the chance to live a long, healthy life, and that eventually, CHDs will be eradicated altogether. That's why we are dedicated to funding research to advance the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of CHDs. With the help of our volunteers and supporters, we are making great progress. Since The Children's Heart Foundation began funding CHD research more than 25 years ago, survival rates, longevity, and quality of life have dramatically improved for CHD patients. Because of this, The Children's Heart Foundation has added important research focus on developmental, transitional, and long term care needs affecting the millions of Americans with CHDs who now live longer lives. The research we fund positively impacts all CHD patients.

The Children’s Heart Foundation proudly supports large-scale research and quality improvement initiatives led by Cardiac Networks United (CNU)—a collaborative pediatric and congenital cardiovascular network representing 11 partner networks nationwide.

CNU brings researchers, clinicians, and institutions together to accelerate discovery by sharing data and resources, streamlining and harmonizing data collection, and translating research findings into better care for patients and families. By making data more accessible and fostering collaboration, CNU helps move breakthroughs from research to real-world impact faster.

Through our ongoing partnership with CNU, The Children’s Heart Foundation is helping drive meaningful progress—advancing care, improving outcomes, and creating lasting change for individuals and families affected by congenital heart defects. ❤

Alice and Daniel are two whose stories continue to guide and inspire the work we do. Though their lives were far too short, their impact is lasting.

This video—first shared at the 11th Annual Red Tie Ball—offers a powerful reminder of why funding the most promising congenital heart defect research matters. In honor of Alice and Daniel, and all Heart Angels, we remain committed to advancing research that gives families more hope, more answers, and more precious time together.

We invite you to watch, reflect, and share this video as we continue the fight for every child born with a heart defect. ❤️

Honoring Caden on this ! ❤ His Mom Stephanie shares: "Born in April 2023 with Transposition of the Great Arteries ( ), Ventricular Septal Defect ( ), and , Caden has undergone four caths and two open heart surgeries fo far, with his full repair (a half turned truncal switch) complete in March 2024. He is 100% g tube fed and has had multiple ENT and pulmonology scopes and surgeries done as well. He's currently in three different therapies, but he is making great progress and running wild like your typical two-year-old!"

Today we're sharing Sutton ❤
"Sutton Jay Harrington was born on August 14th, 2023, with a rare congenital heart defect—double outlet right ventricle with d-malposed great arteries and pulmonary stenosis. We learned of his diagnosis during our 20-week anatomy scan. A few days after Sutton was born, he underwent a heart procedure intended to help him—but instead, his little heart couldn’t handle it. Sutton passed away on August 22nd, 2023.

It’s hard to believe it’s been two years since we last held him. I truly don’t know how we walked out of that hospital without him, or how we’ve survived these past two years. But I do know this—I will spend the rest of my life talking about Sutton and raising funds with The Children's Heart Foundation so that other families may have the chance to watch their babies grow up." -The Harrington Family
