Through the generosity of our community, LifeLink Legacy Fund has provided
more than two million dollars to fulfill its mission of support.
In 1995, LifeLink Foundation established the Endowment for Giving as a separate 501(c)3 in support of the Foundation’s mission. In collaboration with transplant centers throughout LifeLink Foundation’s three organ recovery service areas, the Legacy Fund supports transplant patients through financial assistance programs. LifeLink Legacy Fund also funds research and other initiatives that positively impact organ donation and the transplant community.
The Legacy Fund is privileged to contribute to hundreds of patients at transplant centers across Florida and Georgia.

Many companies offer their employees the opportunity to donate to a non-profit organization. If this is offered, a deduction can be taken directly from each paycheck.
Donations can be made in memory of a loved one. This is a great opportunity to pay tribute to an amazing life.
Donations can be made in honor of a loved one to help celebrate any number of occasions – a successful transplant, birthdays, anniversaries, etc. are all fantastic ways to pay tribute to a loved one.
A great way to raise funds is to plan a fundraiser and donate the proceeds to the Legacy Fund. Host a car wash, garage sale, etc. and let the patrons know the funds will be donated to a great cause.
