Mission and programs · 2023

Mission

TO FURTHER THE CAUSE OF WORLD PEACE AND UNDERSTANDING BY FACILITATING FREE MEDICAL SERVICES, PRIMARILY TO CHILDREN SUFFERING FROM HEART DEFECTS AND OTHER SIMILAR OR ALLIED ILLNESSES REGARDLESS OF RACE, GENDER, CREED, OR NATIONAL ORIGIN, AND WHO WOULD OTHERWISE LACK ACCESS TO SUCH SERVICES.

  • THE CONCEPT OF A 'MISSION' HAS TAKEN ON NEW MEANING TO GIFT OF LIFE INTERNATIONAL ("GOLI"). AS WE HAVE EVOLVED, THE NEED TO SEND EXPERT TEAMS OF HEALTHCARE PROFESSIONALS TO THE COUNTRIES WE WORK WITH HAS BECOME GREATER. THERE ARE NOW THREE DISTINCT TYPES OF 'MISSIONS' WHICH GOLI SPONSORS AND COORDINATES.DIAGNOSTIC SCREENING MISSIONTHIS TYPE OF 'MISSION' IS DESIGNED TO IDENTIFY CHILDREN FROM A SPECIFIC COUNTRY THAT ARE IN NEED OF TREATMENT FOR THEIR HEART DISEASE. WE HAVE FOUND THAT IT IS COST-EFFECTIVE TO SEND A WELL-TRAINED TEAM CONSISTING OF A PEDIATRIC CARDIOLOGIST, ECHO TECHNICIAN AND NURSE TO AN AFFILIATED HOSPITAL IN A PARTNER COUNTRY FOR ONE WEEK TO SCREEN 100 CHILDREN. THE CHILDREN THAT ARE IDENTIFIED AS IN NEED OF TREATMENT WILL THEN BE TREATED THROUGHOUT THE GLOBAL NETWORK OF GIFT OF LIFE INTERNATIONAL. WE REGULARLY HAVE CONDUCTED SUCH 'MISSIONS' TO THE DOMINICAN REPUBLIC, BELIZE, EL SALVADOR, UGANDA, KOSOVA, AND HAITI.MEDICAL MISSIONSMEDICAL 'MISSIONS' HAVE BECOME AN ESSENTIAL METHOD FOR GOLI TO HELP PROVIDE CARE TO CHILDREN WHO WILL NOT HAVE ANY OTHER CHANCE AT A HEALTHY LIFE. WE ARE NOW SENDING TEAMS OF PROFESSIONAL HEALTHCARE PROVIDERS TO THE PHILIPPINES AND HAITI SO THAT CHILDREN ON WAITING LISTS IN THOSE COUNTRIES WILL BE TREATED IN A SYSTEMATIC AND STRATEGIC FASHION. OUR GOAL IS TO PROVIDE CARE TO AS MANY CHILDREN AS POSSIBLE ON THESE MEDICAL MISSIONS.TRAINING VISITSTRAINING VISITS HAVE BECOME ESSENTIAL ASPECTS OF OUR GLOBAL INITIATIVE, 'OUR HEARTS ARE IN...' THROUGH THESE TRAINING VISITS, WE PROVIDE EXPERT SKILLS TO THE LOCAL TEAMS IN EL SALVADOR, UGANDA, BOLIVIA, AND JAMAICA. SUCH VISITS ARE ESSENTIAL IN OUR GOAL OF EMPOWERING THE DOCTORS AND NURSES TO CARE FOR THEIR OWN CHILDREN. THE TRADITIONAL TRAINING VISIT TEAM WILL CONSIST OF A PEDIATRIC CARDIAC SURGEON, ANESTHESIOLOGIST, PERFUSIONIST, TWO INTENSIVE CARE DOCTORS, A RESPIRATORY THERAPIST, 5 PEDIATRIC CARDIAC INTENSIVE CARE UNIT NURSES, AND A PEDIATRIC CARDIOLOGIST. EACH TEAM MEMBER WILL HELP WITH PATIENT CARE WHILE WORKING TO TRANSFER THEIR KNOWLEDGE AND SKILLS TO THE MEMBERS OF THE IN COUNTRY TEAM.OVER THE PAST 5 YEARS, WE HAVE WORKED TO CREATE REGIONAL CENTERS OF EXCELLENCE IN UGANDA, EL SALVADOR, BOLIVIA, AND JAMAICA. IN SELECTING THESE COUNTRIES, WE APPLIED THE FOLLOWING CRITERIA: (1) SUPPORTIVE AND INVESTED GOVERNMENT, (2) MOTIVATED AND INVOLVED HOSPITAL ADMINISTRATION, (3) ESTABLISHED PEDIATRIC CARDIAC SURGERY PROGRAM, AND (4)EXISTING IN-COUNTRY NON-GOVERNMENTAL ORGANIZATION TO SUPPORT THE PROGRAM.THE CARE WE PROVIDE OUR CHILDREN AND THEIR FAMILIES GOES BEYOND THE WALLS OF THE HOSPITAL. WE HAVE DEVELOPED INNOVATIVE NUTRITIONAL, VOCATIONAL, AND FAMILY SUPPORT PROGRAMS THAT CONTINUE OUR INVOLVEMENT IN THE RECOVERY OF THE CHILDREN FOR MONTHS AND YEARS FOLLOWING THEIR SURGERIES.IN 2023, THE GIFT OF LIFE GLOBAL NETWORK TREATED OVER 5,000. THIS IS THE FIRST TIME IN A CALENDAR YEAR THAT OUR NETWORK HAS HELPED THIS MANY CHILDREN. OVER 99% OF THE CHILDREN WE PROVIDE CARE TO ARE TREATED IN THEIR COUNTRY OF BIRTH.WE ARE COMMITTED TO ENSURING THE HEALTHIEST AND HAPPIEST FUTURES FOR OUR CHILDREN AND THEIR FAMILIES. DURING FISCAL YEAR 2023, OVER $10,000,000 OF MEDICAL SERVICES WERE DONATED BY THE VARIOUS PROFESSIONALS; EQUIPMENT WAS PURCHASED FOR HOSPITALS OVERSEAS AND THE STAFF AT THE HOSPITALS WERE TRAINED ON THE USE OF THE EQUIPMENT, PROVIDING A TREMENDOUS LEVEL OF LEVERAGED RESULTS TO GOLI'S SERVICES; AND A SUPPORT SYSTEM WAS DEVELOPED TO PROVIDE AN ONGOING IMPACT EVEN AFTER THE MEDICAL TEAMS RETURN FROM THEIR MISSIONS.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us. Earlier years are each on their own filing page.

Nonprofiteer parses Forms 990, 990-EZ and 990-PF, in a window of recent tax years. These returns are recorded from the IRS e-file index, so their figures were extracted by that index rather than read from the return here — treat them as a different source from the filings above, not as more of the same record. A dash means the index carries no figure; Form 990-T listings carry none at all. Showing the 10 most recent; the API carries the rest.

Grants made

No itemized grants to organizations. Schedule I is filed only by organizations that granted more than $5,000 to a recipient, so most filers have none.

Grants received

The 10 largest by cash amount. The API serves every itemized grant.

Other IRS files

Auto-Revocation List

Not listed. The IRS publishes this list for organizations whose exemption was automatically revoked for failing to file for three consecutive years.

Publication 78

Listed as of 13 October 2026, under deductibility PC.

These are two separate IRS files on two separate schedules, shown as published and not reconciled with each other. Neither is a statement about whether a contribution is deductible today: 19,245 organizations appear in Publication 78 while the IRS's own revocation file lists them as currently revoked, more than half of those revoked before 2019. Absence from Publication 78 is evidence of nothing, and presence is not evidence either. Verify current status with the IRS before relying on it.
