Make Your Mark on Children’s Health

A significant gift can empower outstanding care, allow researchers to test bold new ideas, and dramatically alter the trajectory of a child’s life. Make a meaningful impact by investing in the area you care about most. Your gift could

  • fund a clinical trial to test a potentially groundbreaking cancer therapy or heart disease treatment,
  • help transform our original hospital building to improve our facilities for care and research,
  • help attract leading physician-scientists and set them on the path for discovery with an endowed gift, or
  • ensure kids can still be kids when they’re in the hospital by funding music or art therapy, child life services, or educational programs.

Leadership

Leadership

Your gift can help attract and retain medical leaders at the top of their fields. You also can help fund research conducted by the next generation of physician-scientists, giving them a platform to launch the next breakthrough discoveries in children’s health.

“Every parent does whatever they can to obtain the best care for their child, and every parent deserves that, no matter what resources they have. It is such a privilege to be able to help families get what they need for their children. It taps into our common humanity.”

Susan Ford Dorsey, board chair, Lucile Packard Foundation for Children’s Health

What’s an Endowment?

By creating an endowment—an investment fund that provides long-term support at Packard Children’s—you establish a legacy of advancing children’s health. Your endowed gift will provide our researchers and clinicians with flexible, reliable funding to pursue their most urgent priorities and create a pipeline for research discoveries and clinical care that will last in perpetuity. Your principal investment will be kept intact and grow over time, ensuring that your area of passion will always have guaranteed support at Packard Children’s.
