Building a
HeartSafe
Capital Region.

High-performing systems save more lives by shortening the time to CPR, AED use, and coordinated response. We have the blueprint. Now it is time to fund more of what works locally.

The HeartSafe Capital Region Fund is intended to be stewarded locally through the Community Foundation for the Greater Capital Region to support transparent grantmaking, sustainable public health infrastructure, and measurable regional impact.
