How Children’s Medical Center Foundation came to be
Children’s Health has been serving our region’s children since 1913 and has long benefited from the incredible support, trust and investments from community leaders and friends that have helped shape the institution we are today. Children’s Medical Center Foundation was established in 1985 as a separate 501(c)(3) organization with the sole purpose of pursuing and securing philanthropic contributions that enable Children’s Health to fulfill the mission of making life better for children. Since then, the Foundation has publicly championed the amazing efforts of Children’s Health, has represented institutional priorities and opportunities, has facilitated investments in Children’s Health and has engaged with and extended gratitude to those who have helped make life better for children in North Texas and beyond.
The growth and accompanying successes of the Foundation are direct reflections of the ever-growing impact that Children’s Health has on our community, the rising pediatric population we serve, and the increasingly complex conditions that children face. As the system has grown and evolved, so has interest in supporting it. Individuals, foundations, corporations, grateful families, employees and more all donate to support Children’s Health in myriad and meaningful ways. Both the number of donors and philanthropic contributions raised have steadily increased over the past several decades. Investments in facilities, research, clinical care, supportive programs, and community-based initiatives have been instrumental to the present and future of Children’s Health.
Financial Accountability
When you give, we know you’re putting your trust in us — and we take that very seriously. All contributions to Children’s Medical Center Foundation are managed ethically and responsibly so that supporters can make the biggest impact possible in the North Texas communities served by Children’s Health.
The Foundation is overseen and held accountable by a volunteer-led Board of Directors to ensure all aspects of our organization are managed in a fiscally well-advised manner and abide by federal and industry guidelines for charitable organizations. In addition, the Foundation’s annual financial statements are audited by independent auditors.
