Support the Fund for Every Child
Help elevate pediatric care one child at a time
Every two minutes, a family turns to Children's National Hospital for answers, hope and exceptional pediatric care.
Donations to the Fund for Every Child allow us to tailor everything we do to meet kids' needs.
The Fund for Every Child enables us to provide care to every child and family in need. Families who are uninsured or underinsured receive world-class care, increasing healthcare access and equity in our community.
It supports special services like art and music therapy that helps kids be kids during their hospital stay.
And it advances promising research that leads to new treatments and cures for childhood's most challenging conditions.
A father in our community was juggling work and care for his three children after their mother died... We helped the dad get his kids vaccinated on time and organized social services such as connecting him with the Children's Law Center to get internet access. This meant the kids started school on time in the fall and was a huge relief for him. It's how our hospital's combination of care, connection and access helps support a family.
