The Transplant Fundraising Program (TFP) has been developed by Georgia
Transplant Foundation (GTF) to assist transplant patients in preparing
financially for ongoing transplant costs. These programs provide fundraising
assistance and account management for transplant funds. Financial contributions
are overseen by GTF staff and an Advisory Council providing fiscal
accountability to transplant clients and their contributors. In addition,
detailed information about transplant accounts, including disbursements and
contributions are available upon request.
GTF offers two types of accounts:
Transplant Savings provides accounts for fundraising dollars. These
accounts may be opened pre- or post-transplant and funds may be used for
expanded transplant costs such as housing and travel as well as medication
expenses. You must have a fundraising account held at GTF to be eligible for
this account.
Access to Care provides accounts for fundraising dollars but has
eligibility criteria which include applying pre-transplant, exhibiting
financial or insurance need. These accounts provide up to a $10,000 match and
are used primarily for medication costs. You must have a fundraising account
held at GTF to be eligible for the match.
Both Programs offer:
-
No administrative fee*
-
On-going fundraising advice
-
Monthly fundraising workshops
-
GTF based personal webpage for
fundraising
-
Online donations by credit card
-
Reimbursements processed within thirty (30) days of receipt
-
Option of having post-transplant medication directly billed from a GTF approved
pharmacy to your GTF account
*There is a minimal bank fee of an average of 2.85% per
transaction for credit card donations charged to the TFP client.
