There’s an App For That.

Funds raised by Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals are unrestricted and used by local member hospitals that best understand their communities’ most urgent needs. Whether that’s providing charitable care to children, investing in research that discovers life-saving treatments and cures, training the next generation of doctors and nurses, or offering families comfort and peace of mind during the most trying moments of their lives, member hospitals use Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals’ funds where they are needed most. This is vital to children’s hospitals that frequently do not have other streams of unrestricted funds. Children’s hospitals’ funding needs vary greatly year over year. Each year, the greatest needs of a given hospital may be investments in a new, life-saving piece of equipment, or training and education of medical staff. The next year, there may be greater demand for pioneering research and treatments or providing care to patients who can’t otherwise afford it. Our unrestricted funds allow each hospital to be flexible to their most urgent needs today, while also planning for the needs of tomorrow.

Donations are vital to positively changing kids’ health to change the future and redefining positive impact and outcomes for communities. Our collective efforts provide local member hospitals with the critical funds they need.

CHARITABLE CARE

Last year alone, more than $54M funded patient care for children and families when they needed it most. These funds can support medical bills, travel assistance, home expenses, and beyond.

EDUCATION

Member hospitals of Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals provide education services for patients, families and the community. Last year alone, more than $29M funded their education initiatives ranging from car seat safety classes and community health and wellness programs to patients’ classroom needs. Education also includes services for hospital staff to best treat and prevent illnesses in children.

PATIENT SERVICES

Quality care includes physical, mental and emotional health which are key to successful outcomes for patients and families. Services like child life are completely dependent on philanthropy and are critical roles within a children’s hospital. Art and pet therapy, counseling and outdoor gardens are a few additional examples. In 2022, more than $98M funded local patient care.

ADVANCEMENT SERVICES

When one child’s health issue is solved at one hospital, it can transform how that issue is handled across the world, benefiting more patients and protecting our collective future. More than $101M funded items like construction and capital expenditures that aim to advance treatment and care for children’s hospitals at large.

EQUIPMENT

Equipment at children’s hospitals must be customized to every child’s size and age, greatly multiplying the expenses incurred at children’s hospitals. In 2022, more than $109M funded equipment needs like giraffe beds and state-of-the-art pieces such as ECMO machinery and flash CT scanners.

RESEARCH

Children’s hospitals are changing the future of pediatric healthcare. With innovative, transformational research, they’re improving outcomes and treatments for patients regularly. Last year, more than $29m funded research efforts.

The Give Miracles app is a great way to create your own personal fundraiser on the go. It’s up to you on how you want to incorporate it — some ideas: upcoming holiday parties and get togethers, birthday’s, celebrations, or just because.
Note, if you are participating in Extra Life or Dance Marathon, we recommend that you fundraise through those programs and not via the Give Miracles app.

Funds raised by Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals support the local member hospital. Those member hospitals pay an annual membership fee to be part of the network, so donations through Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals’ partners and programs benefit those local communities. When a donor gives to a Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals’ program or partner, those donations help fund things like medical treatments, equipment and facilities at their local member hospital to improve the lives of children and families in their communities.
