Known worldwide for its excellent care, Boston Children’s Hospital is one of the largest pediatric medical centers in the United States – it is “where the world comes for answers.” The Hospital has been ranked #1 in U.S. News & World Report’s “Best Children’s Hospital” lists for six years running. In addition to caring for children through 25,000 inpatient admissions annually, the facility also houses the world’s largest research enterprise based at any pediatric hospital, with more than 1,500 scientists.

The Boston Children’s Hospital Trust was founded in 1997 as a philanthropic resource for the hospital. Having successfully completed its $1.53B dollar Dream Dare Deliver campaign in September 2019, the Trust is embarking on a five-year plan laying the groundwork for the next campaign. The Foundation has prioritized expanding its philanthropic footprint and enhancing national networks to attract new donors and engage more deeply its current donors.
