We are a nonprofit organization with an international membership of 1,800 health professionals, lay members of the community (Community Health Advocates), corporate members, and institutional members, dedicated to eliminating the disparities related to cardiovascular disease in all people of color.

Annual Fund

Your gift today to the Association of Black Cardiologists’ (ABC) Annual Fund has a direct effect on people in the communities at risk for the devastating effects of cardiovascular disease. The Annual Fund ensures that the ABC has the resources and talented staff members to create and execute the effective and ongoing educational, community outreach, and research programs that are making a difference in communities around the country. These are the costs of our mission that ABC cannot recoup through other funding.

A gift to the Annual Fund ensures our continued work in communities disproportionately affected by cardiovascular disease. Your support also will bring us closer to achieving our year 2020 goal of reducing the disparities gap in cardiovascular disease mortality by 20%. You can make your 100% tax deductible gift today by clicking the button below. You may also wish to consider a gift of appreciated stock as a way to support the ABC. Contact Cassandra McCullough at 212-661-1438 if you wish to make a gift of stock.

The ABC is a 501 (c)(3) charitable organization and contributions are tax deductible. You will receive an acknowledgment for tax purposes.

Through the ABC, I have developed significant mentoring relationships with many prominent cardiologists throughout the nation who have helped to broaden my research focus and strengthen my clinical endeavors.

ABC is on the forefront of health equity. Even though I am not a black cardiologist, I feel that the mission and values of the organization are very aligned with my own and the organization is very inclusive.

I was successful in winning the Dr. Jay Brown Best Abstract award. This helped to foster collaborations and mentorship which have been invaluable for a junior attending.

The ABC has helped me to build and maintain professional relationships across numerous specialties in different institutions.

One of the things I like best about ABC is that they actively promote research and collaboration among its members and with other groups/institutions.
