About Children's Memorial Foundation

Thanks to the generosity of our donors, Children's is able to provide world-class health care to the patients we are privileged to serve.

Since 1882, Children's has been guided by the belief that all children should be able to grow up in a protective and nurturing environment, where each child is given the opportunity to reach his or her potential. We believe this vision can provide a brighter future for all children.

Philanthropy plays a critical role in accomplishing these goals, especially in today's increasingly challenging health care environment. Founded in 1987, the Children's Memorial Foundation is a charitable 501(c)(3) tax-exempt organization, through which all gifts benefit Children's.

The Foundation's staff of fundraising professionals work with more than 25 affiliated organizations and an active team of volunteers to cultivate and secure contributions that advance the mission of the hospital. Volunteer engagement ranges from those contributing to governance on the board of directors, to those conducting benefit events, to individuals contributing through grassroots efforts.

Children's Memorial Foundation publishes Heroes magazine three times per year. To receive the latest news, sign up for Heroes Update, our monthly e-newsletter.
