about our grants
To date, our grants have provided services for donor families, created materials to educate the community about donation, and supported innovative clinical trainings for those in the medical field. We continue to review and support grants from the donation and transplantation community.

high school video scholarship award
Louisa Tantillo, a gifted 15-year-old sophomore at Mamaroneck High School, won a $2,500 scholarship for her film “Take It In Stride” – a touching portrayal of her classmate, Penny Lee, and her family’s journey since her liver transplant at three months old. “Not only am I telling this story about Penny, but I was telling the story of what so many people have gone through when they receive an organ, which made it so meaningful to me,” said Tantillo, who hopes to attend NYU for film making one day. Tantillo and Lee are the first student recipients of “Marcy’s Gift” – the Donate 8/LiveOnNY Foundation High School Video Scholarship Award for promoting organ donation awareness among young people in New York.
