Who Does the Angel Fund Support?

Transplant Recipients

Transplant recipients have received the gift of life and often need support to be able to sustain that gift. The Angel Fund provides financial assistance to those who cannot otherwise afford the medications required to keep them healthy.

Those Waiting

Patients waiting for a lifesaving transplant must make numerous trips to doctor appointments throughout their wait. The Angel Fund provides financial assistance to alleviate the burden caused by this travel for those who need it.

Children’s Grief Journey

The Angel Fund provides grief support and materials to children related to donor heroes. It also funds our annual Donor Hero Camp, where children can honor their loved ones, connect with other children and experience hope and healing.

2026 champions for Donation

Champions for Donation are individuals and organizations undertaking exceptional efforts to advance organ and tissue donation and transplantation, either through direct professional work or advocacy on behalf of the mission of Indiana Donor Network. Their continued dedication to saving and healing lives is truly outstanding. We are excited to celebrate the 2026 Champions for Donation at this year’s Angel Fund Gala.
