Ways to Give

HeartFit For Life, a program of the Cardiac Therapy Foundation of the Midpeninsula, could not exist but for the generous financial support from its members and friends.

We need your financial support!

Our member fees pay only about 80% of the expenses needed to run a first class program such as ours. Raising our fees to cover the full program cost would inhibit many who need our services from joining. Yes, we do offer financial aid to those who need it. However, if potential members felt the costs for our services were too expensive, they would be turned off and not even investigate our program.

We have been granted IRS 501(c)3 status; therefore, your donations to us are fully tax deductible as charitable contributions as provided by law.

Gifts may be made:

  1. by check, payable to HeartFit For Life or the Cardiac Therapy Foundation,
  2. online via PayPal – click the “Donate” button below,


  3. in the form of publicly-traded appreciated securities (see below),
  4. by including HeartFit For Life in your estate plan (see ForeverFit Legacy Giving below).

Appreciated Securities

Giving appreciated securities is advantageous because it affords the donor a charitable income tax deduction based on the securities’ market value at the date of gift. The donor pays no capital gains tax on the appreciation; please check with your tax advisor for more details. Learn more.
