Edwards Lifesciences Foundation

Every heartbeat matters is the signature philanthropic initiative of Edwards Lifesciences foundation. In 2014, we launched every heartbeat matters, and by 2020, this community of charitable partners had impacted over 1.7 Million underserved people, surpassing the initial goal of 1 Million. Now, we are working towards a new every heartbeat matters goal: we will improve the lives of 2.5 Million additional underserved structural heart patients by the end of 2025. To drive this goal, we fund impactful cardiac and patient centric charitable partners, but also invest in creating a close-knit global community that empowers people and organizations to sustain and expand their efforts to impact structural heart disease, not just today, but long after our grants are made. Ehm does this by bringing together the leaders of our charitable partners, and telling the stories of their work to share their impact and inspire more giving.
