Join our Community
The Global Alliance for Rheumatic and Congenital Hearts (Global ARCH) brings together organizations from around the world to learn, collaborate, and speak out together about the unmet needs of those living with childhood-onset heart conditions. Our alliance seeks to improve care for heart disease from timely diagnosis and treatment to lifelong care for physical and mental health. Together, we work to ensure every person impacted by CHD and RHD receives access to quality lifelong care and support
Becoming part of the Global ARCH community is simple and free.
Join our Advocacy Efforts
Advocacy is a vital part of what we do and who we are. We recognize that taking action is necessary to create change to improve the lives of people with childhood-onset heart disease, no matter where they are born. We invite you to learn more about our advocacy work and to sign our Declaration of Rights and Call to Action and join the Global Coalition for Pediatric & Congenital Hearts. We truly believe that our collective voice and actions will create a future in which every affected person, no matter where they were born, receives the life-long care they need to thrive.
Fundraising & Sponsorships
We can’t do this work alone – it really does take a village! We are a registered 501(c)(3) organization run solely on donations and grants. Therefore, we are always grateful to our supporters who make our work possible. All gifts allow Global ARCH to move towards our goal to improve and prolong the life of every heart child and adult – no matter where they were born. All funds raised help support our global advocacy work and empower patient and family organizations to achieve their goals through our collaborative programs, advocacy, education, and leadership development.
