AASLD Foundation was established in 2014 with the help of incredible financial commitment and dedication of industry and private foundations, and many generous individuals who supported the creation of this charitable organization. Since then, hundreds of donors have helped make more advances in liver disease possible through their generous donations.
Thank you!
We are honored to bestow recognition on our annual fund donors who support our work each year. Know that when you allow us to recognize your generosity, you can also inspire others to similar acts. This year, we look forward to highlighting our donors in special ways throughout The Liver Meeting Digital Experience™.
The Foundation Hub, accessible through the TLMdX Networking and Engagement Center, is your place to engage with our Foundation’s leaders and awardees.
Please be sure to "opt-in" to be able to access the TLMdX Networking and Engagement Center. You may update or confirm your opt-in response through the Registration Resource Center.
The TLMdX Networking and Engagement Center will offer an opportunity for attendees to engage with colleagues, leaders, and staff of many areas of programming. The Foundation Hub will be open throughout the meeting for you to stop by and visit. Our Board and Committee leaders will host a daily Coffee Chat and look forward to seeing you at some point. Staff will also be on hand throughout the day to facilitate connections to others during TLMdX.
We’re looking forward to our awardees joining our special “meet-up” sessions. While those will be by invite, we’re able to have a maximum of 50 attendees join at a time. Feel free to stop in if you are a prior year’s awardee and let us know what you have been up to – we’ll see you at the Hub!
AASLD Foundation is also here to help you rest, relax, and recharge during TLMdX.
Join us at the Foundation Hub, accessible through the TLMdX Networking and Engagement Center, on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday at 12 pm to take a few minutes for yourself as we rest, relax and recharge together with on-demand wellness sessions from our friends at Replenish Mind, Body, Spirit.
Need to rest, relax, and recharge in-between sessions? Stop by the Foundation’s Wellness Booth, accessible via the AASLD Resource Center.
AASLD Foundation and Replenish Mind Body Spirit have partnered to provide you “An Invitation to Restore". These brief pauses invite participants to take an integrative approach to self-care with self-reflection, mindful awareness, and self-compassion practices to create an intentional space to rest, relax, and recharge.
You will have choices to participate on your own, based on your personal needs at that time and your schedule for the day.

Patient care is a team effort. Fundamentals of Liver Disease (FOLD), a program supported by AASLD Foundation, is a complimentary online educational resource that offers CME/CE credits and MOC points.
It serves as a learning resource for frontline health care providers to stay current on the diagnosis and treatment of common liver diseases and aims to improve providers’ knowledge and clinical skills in hepatology.
AASLD Foundation has a significant impact on the careers of researchers and health care providers who study and treat liver disease. Our goal is to push the boundaries of what’s possible in the world of liver disease research and care.
Your gift to AASLD Foundation is an investment in a future without liver disease. Since 2000, we have provided more than $50 million to advance liver research and advanced hepatology training opportunities.
There are several ways to make an impact. We welcome your gift of any amount to support the work of AASLD Foundation.
