Why Monthly Giving Matters

Children need CHKD every day of the year. Monthly giving provides steady, reliable support that helps our team plan ahead and respond to the needs of our patients and families throughout the year.

Every gift, no matter the size, makes a difference. Your generosity means more care, more hope, and more milestones for children and families.

Introducing the 1961 Society

For 65 years, families have trusted CHKD to care for their children through moments big and small.

The 1961 Society celebrates where we began while helping ensure that Health, Healing and Hope will be here for generations to come. Become a 1961 Society Member and receive a special welcome gift in thanks for your sustaining support.
