Scope & Programs

The AmSECT Foundation's scope encompasses educational support, scientific research, recognition of significant professional achievement and support to other nonprofit organizations whose activities follow the Foundation's purpose.

The Professional Recognition fund supports the recognition of extraordinary professional accomplishments that ultimately benefit patient care, including AmSECT committees, Perfusion Without Borders and Achievement Recognition. Contact the Foundation's National Office for detailed information about this program.

Mary Hartley Student Scholarship Fund

In 2020, the AmSECT Foundation was thrilled to announce the new AmSECT Mary Hartley Student Scholarship Fund. This scholarship program provides a second-year perfusion student with a $5,000 scholarship. The scholarship winner is selected based on the strength of the applicant's statement and letter of recommendation from a professor in their perfusion training program.

SpecialtyCare Medical Mission Fund

AmSECT and the AmSECT Foundation partnered with SpecialtyCare to provide an endowment supporting perfusionists wishing to travel abroad for medical missions. AmSECT administers the $25,000 endowment donation from SpecialtyCare; the recipient uses that towards the remuneration for airfare and lodging. Unlike other mission funds and scholarships often awarded to students, the SpecialtyCare Medical Mission Fund is for practicing perfusionists who desire the opportunity to share their skills abroad with those who need them.

Foundation Contributions

The AmSECT Foundation accepts both unrestricted and restricted donations. A restricted gift specifies precisely the terms and conditions under which the use of the proceeds may be conducted, e.g., research only, amount, criteria or combinations. While restricted gifts are welcome, they can be more challenging to administer. Unrestricted gifts are made with no terms regarding their use as long as it is within the Foundation's charter.

The Foundation welcomes gifts of any amount. All contributors will receive an acknowledgment suitable for tax purposes and public recognition unless otherwise requested.

There are also various other ways to support the Foundation's programs. The Foundation's legal and tax planning counsels are available to respond to questions regarding estate planning, endowments, trusts and designated beneficiaries for insurance, to name only some of the possibilities.
