COVID-19:
Join us in this charge
The health and safety of our patients and those who serve them is our highest priority. NCH and our caregivers are responding to this unprecedented pandemic with unwavering dedication. We need your support.
Your Generosity Matters
Each year, donors contribute to over 100 different programs and services. Some make an unrestricted gift to support our overall mission, while others support a particular program or project of interest to them. Here are some of the many ways you can direct your support.
The General Fund
Unrestricted gifts are invested in the General Fund, providing the organization with flexibility to use them wherever the need is greatest, from supporting core services to investing in innovative new programs.
Giving to a Specific Department
If you or a loved one is grateful for the care a specific department provided, consider making a gift in honor of that department as a special way to say thank you.
Patient Care
Covid-19 Emergency Response Fund
This fund helps us to the unprecedented needs associated with this pandemic as effectively as possible.
