Cor Vitae Society
The Cor Vitae Society – Latin for heart of life – is the annual philanthropic giving society of the American Heart Association. The collective impact of our more than 10,000 Cor Vitae Society members making annual, lifetime, and legacy gifts is truly incredible.
The society celebrates individual Annual Members making yearly gifts of $5,000 or more, Lifetime Members recognizing those whose cumulative gifts are $500,000 or more, and Legacy Members who have committed to a future of heart health for all by leaving a gift in their will or estate plan.
Our Annual and Lifetime Members give through local events such as Heart Walk, Heart Ball and Cycle Nation and support other mission-aligned initiatives through their gifts. Our Paul Dudley White Legacy Circle Members have ensured the promising future of heart and brain health through their planned gift through their estate plan.
Our members support scientific advances, community health education programs, and advocacy and outreach efforts to ensure longer, healthier lives for people everywhere.
