Your support helps children create their own story.
Gillette Children's Foundation exists to support the mission of Gillette Children's. For more than 125 years, Gillette Children’s, a non-profit healthcare organization, has collaborated with patients, families, partners, and donors like you to set the standard of care and opportunity for children with disabilities, complex conditions, rare disorders, and traumatic injuries.
Donor support fuels research and innovation, clinical leadership and care, and advocacy efforts that enable every child to lead a full life defined by their dreams, not their diagnoses. Generous donors and funders help each Gillette patient create their own story.
Donor support makes an impact.
- In 2023, 27,920 individual patients received care at Gillette.
- 140 patient-centered research studies are currently underway at Gillette.
- To date, more than $3 million has been granted to families to ensure they have access to the high-level care they need at Gillette, regardless of their ability to pay.
