Angels For Hearts

What Angels For Hearts does

Angels for Hearts is a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt nonprofit organization (Tax ID # 26-3287958) founded in 2008 in Sacramento, California, by Kimberly Kaufman alongside her parents Curtis and Patti Kaufman. The organization is purpose-built to bring normalcy to pediatric cardiac patients, known as "heart kids," from newborn through age 18, and to support their families during extended hospital stays, procedures, and recovery. It addresses a population affected by Congenital Heart Defects, which the organization notes occur in approximately 1 in 110 children. Services are delivered at no cost to families and are funded entirely through donations.

The organization's core programs include I Heart Golf (an annual series of golf clinics at Haggin Oaks Golf Complex in partnership with Morton Golf Foundation and NCIG for Kids), Wishes Wants & Needs (discretionary funds responding to requests from hospital Child Life Specialists), Santa's Wishes (holiday gift delivery), Heart Families Rock (annual dinner and dance celebration), and Medical Binders (organizational tools for managing complex medical documentation). Distribution is exclusively through Child Life Specialists at five Northern California pediatric hospitals: Lucile Packard Children's Hospital Stanford, UCSF Benioff Children's Hospital San Francisco, Sutter Children's Center Sacramento, UC Davis Children's Hospital, and Kaiser Women and Children's Hospital Roseville. The organization also maintains a Heart Angel Families segment for bereaved families.

The revenue model is 100% donation-based, with no products or services sold. Funding sources include individual donations, corporate sponsorships, grants (e.g., Sacramento Bee Book of Dreams, Point West Rotary Club Foundation), and proceeds from participation in the L5 Investments Capital Cup, a Ryder Cup-style charity golf tournament that has cumulatively raised $20,852,432 for regional Sacramento-area charities since inception. The organization operates with 1-10 employees, a ten-person board of directors, and a community-led go-to-motion anchored by hospital partnerships, donor relationships, and recurring fundraising events. There is no proprietary technology platform, mobile application, or AI component.

Scale indicators5 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights4 records

Emerging players

• Camp del Corazon: Nonprofit running residential summer camps and programs for children with congenital heart disease. Comparable CHD beneficiary population and recreational-program philosophy, with overlapping mission to bring normalcy to heart kids.
• It Starts With the Heart: Faith-based nonprofit providing support and care packages to pediatric cardiac patients and their families. Comparable beneficiary population and family-support model; smaller scale and narrower geographic reach than Angels for Hearts.

Broad incumbents

• Starlight Children's Foundation: National nonprofit delivering entertainment, distraction programs, and comfort items to hospitalized children. Directly comparable intervention model (iPad/tech distraction, comfort items) but at much larger national scale and broader pediatric focus.
• Ronald McDonald House Charities: Global nonprofit supporting families of hospitalized children with lodging, meals, and support services at pediatric hospitals. Operates at substantially larger scale; provides overlapping family-comfort services at many of the same hospital partners.
• Make-A-Wish Foundation: Large national nonprofit granting wishes to children with critical illnesses, including those with congenital heart defects. Operates at much larger scale, broader disease focus, and brand recognition; competes for similar donor dollars in the pediatric illness philanthropy market.

Direct peers

• Children's Heart Foundation: National organization funding congenital heart defect research and supporting affected families. Closely comparable beneficiary population (CHD patients and families) and fundraising-driven nonprofit model, though focused primarily on research funding versus direct family services.
• Conquering CHD: Family-led nonprofit offering support, education, and advocacy for the congenital heart defect community. Comparable mission focus on CHD families with hospital-based and community programming similar to Angels for Hearts' Child Life Specialist model.
• Mended Little Hearts: National nonprofit providing peer support, education, and resources to families of children with congenital heart defects. Most direct peer in mission, beneficiary population (pediatric heart families), and program structure (hospital-based support groups, family connections, bereavement support).
