Leading the Way for Children to Thrive

Safety, love and stability help children thrive and meet new challenges. They use their creativity to see new possibilities. They’re flexible and open to new ideas

Children’s National Hospital strives to be flexible, too. But like kids, we need stability to keep our community healthy. That’s why we created the Fund for Every Child. It powers the world-class care, innovation and discovery that children need.

The fund allows us to provide care with compassion. It enables us to pursue new opportunities — to advance pediatric medicine, find new treatments and cures, provide art and pet therapy and respond to a public health crisis like the COVID-19 pandemic. When revenue falls short, demands increase or patient insurance won’t cover a service, we turn to the fund to keep advancing care and the next big discovery.

With your generous support, the kids who inspire us today will lead us to brighter tomorrows.

The Fund for Every Child has enabled us to:
  • Meet our community’s most urgent needs
  • Increase access to care across our region
  • Enhance neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) comfort for parents
  • Bring groundbreaking brain cancer treatments to patients
  • Improve care by building a more diverse faculty
