Boston Children's Hospital Every Child Fund

The Every Child Fund, our most vital fund, empowers Boston Children’s Hospital to respond to a changing world with one goal: to give every child a healthy future. We provide compassionate care to children facing illness and injury, as well as caring support to their families. Here are some of the ways your donation supports our patients and families:

Nurture Every Child

Facing an illness can be a stressful experience for a child, but we do our best to bring joy to the hospital and to our patients. Through experiences that include celebrations, therapy dogs, and music therapists, we are able to help kids continue to be kids during their visit.

Support Every Family

When a child is sick, it can affect the entire family. Parents may need to put their lives on hold, which can lead to overwhelming choices. The Every Child Fund supports our family-centered care, alleviating some of the stressors that a family may experience, so parents can focus on their sick child. These services, housing, interpreters and social workers are not covered by insurance.

Conquer Every Disease

Boston Children’s is where the world comes for answers. We find solutions that others can’t, and we tackle childhood diseases from every angle. Boston Children’s Hospital is home to the world’s largest pediatric research facility in the world, and our research is part of break-through discoveries in helping find cures. We share our treatments with the world through training and global programs.

Boston Children’s Hospital has always worked tirelessly to help sick and injured children and families, and we will continue to do so in the face of the COVID-19 pandemic. While the quality of care for our patients has not changed, our needs are greater now than we could ever have imagined. Our hospital workers are putting their lives on the line every day to save children’s lives, and they cannot do it alone. By generously offering your support to Boston Children’s, you are a part of bringing healing and hope to children and families during this crisis. You allow families to receive an extraordinary level of care, one we otherwise could not make possible. Because of you, parents can focus on what's most important: their child. Thank you for your support.

Our most vital fund, The Every Child Fund empowers us to respond to a changing world with one goal: to give every child a healthy future. Your gift provides essential support and shows faith in our mission. Every penny goes directly to supporting Boston Children’s lifesaving work in a number of ways:

Nurture Every Child

PawPrints Program- Helping kids be kids during tough times, we have over 25 dogs therapists that visit patient floors daily to deliver kisses and smiles to patients and their families all over the hospital. Knowing their favorite puppy is waiting for them helps children get through troubled times.

Support Every Family

Patient Family Housing- Families travel from all over the world to seek top medical expertise from the doctors at Boston Children’s Hospital. The Every Child Fund allows us to offer offsite housing to the families who need it most. This year families spent 14,679 nights in safe, subsidized housing, and were able to focus on what really mattered- their child.

Conquer Every Disease

Life Saving Innovation- Boston Children’s Hospital is home to the world’s largest pediatric research facility, and innovation is a top priority. Through our SimPeds lab, we are able to print 3D models of a child to allow doctors to “practice” before surgery. We are also able to print devices to be implanted and grow with a child, minimizing need for future surgeries.

Our most vital fund, The Every Child Fund empowers Boston Children’s to respond to a changing world with one goal: until every child is well. Thank you for all your support.
