After submission, the STA Foundation will review the application. Please allow up to 7-10 business days for the review. 

After the application is reviewed and all details are accounted for, the funds will be processed. A check can take up to 7 –10 business days to process.  

After the check is processed, it will then be placed in the mail and addressed to the Social Worker or Transplant Coordinator at the transplant center address provided in the application. Please note that the mailed check can take up to 5-7 days to reach you.  

If there is anything out of the norm in your application, please make note of it in the narrative portion of the form. We appreciate any details and/or relevant updates about the patient’s need to better understand the urgency of the request.
