Endowments at Children's Medical Center Foundation

More than 200 named endowments funded by donors are housed by Children's Medical Center Foundation. A range of clinical, non-clinical, research, training and community-facing areas benefit from these funds' annual distributions, which help sustain important programs and spur new develoments at Children's Health. Examples include clinical research, mental health and Family Support Services such as Child Life.

Additionally, a large portion of our endowments do not have a specific designation, but instead are unrestricted for the general charitable purposes of Children's Health. These funds provide the greatest flexibility to invest in short- and long-term solutions and to explore new avenues of pediatric care. The incredible benefit of these generous resources was evident over this past year.

Our ability to make life better for children is furthered by these permanent funds that provide continued support, while extending the legacies of the generous friends and partners who established these endowed funds or were honored by them.
