TSF/STS Surgeon Match Challenge

About the Challenge: The 2023 TSF/STS Surgeon Match Challenge is officially launched! Thanks to the generosity of The Society of Thoracic Surgeons, all surgeon donations up to $150,000 will be matched for double the impact. Your contributions support research, education, leadership, and surgical outreach programs in cardiothoracic surgery. The Foundation’s administrative expenses are covered by STS, so 100% of your donation will go directly to the fund of your choice. Please consider making a donation today!

About Your Match Dollars: Surgeon donations will be distributed to the fund designated by the donor. Corresponding “match dollars” will be directed solely toward TSF’s “area of greatest need,” which is a fund primarily used to award research grants. The STS will match surgeon donations up to a total of $150,000 in 2023. For funds approved under the spending policy for the Surgeon Match Challenge, STS will seek to match dollar-for-dollar surgeon contributions up to a $25,000 maximum recognizing potential limitations of available funds.

TSF Progress: In 2022, TSF awarded $1,452,750 in grants and scholarships for 40 recipients. In 2023, the Foundation’s goal is to issue more than $1.5 million in individual grants.

Invest Today: Please consider making your donation online today. Your donation is an investment in the future of cardiothoracic surgery research and has a 100% return.
