What Cardiac Kids Foundation of Florida Inc does
Mission
The mission of the cardiac kids foundation is to provide assistance to families and their children with heart disease. Support is provided in the form of financial assistance to those families who cannot afford prescription medications and related travel expenses for the families of hospitalized children. A portion of our assistance goes beyond financial and involves actual surgeries, training, education, and equipment supplied to communities who otherwise would not have this available to them. For example, our yearly jamaican mission trip, headed up by dr. Jeffrey jacobs and his team is currently responsible for saving countless lives through his efforts. The larry king cardiac foundation has been a huge supporter of these annual trips.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2017, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2017, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2024 to 2025, from $153k to $274k (+79%).
