Mission & Focus Areas

The organization’s mission is to pursue the best outcomes and health equity for all children, ensuring access to the best care regardless of ability to pay. It says it is committed to high-quality patient care, advocacy for children and families, research discoveries, and education for patients, families, team members, and the community. Its filing also says available endowment funds support patient care, advocacy, pediatric research, and education.

The 2024 grants include support for hospital care, research initiatives, pediatric academic operations, child advocacy, radiology and surgical research, and child assessment programs. The funder also supported community organizations. For example, Community Development for All People describes its own work as including home construction for eligible low-income families in southern Columbus and a children’s development program; Final Third Foundation describes using soccer to bring communities together through programs involving literacy, wellness, and environmental learning. These are the grantees’ stated missions, not the funder’s.

Grantmaking

The largest reported grants included $105,167,509 to Nationwide Children’s Hospital for indigent care and patient-care programs; two grants to the Research Institute at NCH totaling $101,719,080 for research initiatives; and $31,800,644 to Pediatric Academic Association for its operations. Other notable grants included $9,800,000 to ProMedica Toledo Hospital for health care for families and children in the Toledo area, $5,000,000 to HNHF Realty Collaboration for operations, and $3,535,111 to the Center for Child & Family Advocacy at NCH for child advocacy programs.

The organization also reports participating in research grant-funded projects. Examples listed on its website include a $2,000,000 Research Accelerator Award for an epilepsy surgery database (2023–2025) and a $1,875,424 randomized clinical trial of smartphone virtual reality for pain management during burn-care transitions (2022–2027). These are described as awarded grants in which the team participates, not as grants given by the organization to outside recipients.
