The Harry S. Moss Heart Trust concentrates its philanthropy on cardiovascular health in Texas, funding medical centers, research programs, and community screening/prevention initiatives with an emphasis on translational and clinical cardiology projects. Grants support infrastructure and specialty programs (pediatric cardiac facilities, transplant/perfusion techniques, AFib and heart‑disease diagnostics), while also underwriting community clinics and youth screening efforts. The trust favors a small set of repeat institutional partners—especially major Texas university medical centers—over broad, dispersed giving.
Harry S Moss Heart Trust directs its giving toward cardiovascular health in Texas, with a pattern that favors medical centers, specialty research, and prevention programs. The largest recent grant in the file was $750,000 to Ut Southwestern Medical Center for a new pediatric campus, showing support for infrastructure tied to cardiac care. Other sizable awards went to the University of Texas Foundation for cardiovascular health, high-resolution 3D printing, and heart function disparities, pointing to a mix of clinical and translational work. The trust also backs specialty efforts in women’s heart health, transplant innovation, and early diagnosis, alongside community-facing screening and clinic support. Its recent awards reach university medical systems, transplant organizations, and local nonprofit providers, suggesting a preference for institutions that can move between research, treatment, and screening. The grant list shows a compact set of recurring Texas partners rather than broad, dispersed philanthropy, with several grants to the same university foundation across different medical topics.
In translational and clinical research, Harry S Moss Heart Trust funded the University of Texas Foundation with $300,000 for high-resolution 3D printed work and $275,000 for heart function disparities. Those grants sit alongside $50,000 for diabetic cardiomyopathy and $50,000 for tricuspid regurgitation, indicating attention to specific diagnostic and treatment questions. For women’s cardiovascular health, the trust gave $500,000 to Texas Health Resources Foundation for women’s heart health and $120,000 to Unthsc Foundation for AFib in aging women. It also supported cardiac transplantation and perfusion innovation with $250,000 to Southwest Transplant Alliance Inc for normothermic regional perfusion. Community screening appears in the $7,500 grant to Living for Zachary for youth heart screenings and the $10,000 grant to Brother Bill's Helping Hand for community clinic cardiac support.
Recent grants range from $7,500 to $750,000, with a median of $175,000 and a third quartile of $285,000. The trust gives through a private foundation structure and its recent list shows repeat support for the University of Texas Foundation across multiple awards in the same year, along with other recurring institutional partners in Texas. That pattern points to concentrated, relationship-based grantmaking rather than one-off dispersed awards. The 2025 record also shows program-specific grants tied to research, specialty care, and prevention rather than unrestricted support.
