About Children'S Hospital of Wisconsin
Children's Hospital of Wisconsin Inc channels much of its grantmaking through affiliate organizations tied to its own health system, with the largest recent awards going to Children's Hospital and Health System Inc in Milwaukee across 2023, 2024, and 2025. That pattern points to a funder that supports the operating and service backbone around pediatric care, not only outside partners. Its stated CARE framework — Care, Advocacy, Research, Education — aligns with a portfolio that includes clinical care, pediatric research, community health, advocacy, and volunteer programs. Beyond affiliated entities, the foundation also funds specific program work such as NIH-supported research and preventive oral health services. Recent grants show support for Duke University on research, along with Wisconsin-based community providers delivering dental sealant services. The foundation’s vision states that the children of Wisconsin will be the healthiest in the nation, and its grant history reflects a local focus centered on children’s health needs in Wisconsin.
What Children'S Hospital of Wisconsin Funds
In affiliate support, Children's Hospital of Wisconsin Inc made major grants to Children's Medical Group Inc and Children's Service Society of Wisconsin, indicating sustained backing for organizations connected to pediatric services and child-focused support. Research is another visible strand: Duke University received NIH research grants in multiple years, including 2023, 2024, and 2025. Community oral-health work appears in the dental sealant portfolio, with grants to Lakes Community Health Center-north Lakes Community Clinic in Iron River and Lakes Community Health Center in Hayward for sealant services. The foundation also supported a public-health implementation model through dental sealant awards to Seals on Wheels in Marshall and Madison, showing a practical emphasis on service delivery rather than broad unrestricted funding.
How Children'S Hospital of Wisconsin Gives
Typical grant sizes are midrange for many awards, with a p25 of $18,168, a median of $43,802, and a p75 of $77,495. The distribution is highly skewed by large affiliate grants alongside many smaller program-specific awards. Recipients appear across multiple years, especially affiliate partners and repeat service providers, which suggests ongoing relationships rather than isolated one-time awards. The foundation is not a private individual giver and does not make program-related investments. The recent record also shows project-restricted funding, including NIH research grants and dental sealant grants.
