About Our Foundation
Inspired by Laura Zellmer's journey with Cystic Fibrosis & three lung transplants, Strong & Salty was established in 2019 in Moraga, CA. The mission of Strong & Salty is to enhance the quality of life of transplant patients and their families by taking away financial worries, decreasing wait times for organs, and increasing life expectancy post-transplant.
​
The "Salty" in our name, is a nod to all Cystic Fibrosis individuals, since those of us with CF have saltier sweat than everyone else.
​
Strong & Salty is a fiscally sponsored project of Social Good Fund, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit corporation (EIN: 46-1323531). All donations are 100% tax deductible.
