What Randall Childrens Hospital Foundation Funds
In pediatric hospital support, Randall Childrens Hospital Foundation gave $2,893,526 to Legacy Emanuel Hospital & Health Center for hospital-based needs in 2023, then followed with another $1,350,445 grant in 2024 for the same recipient. The foundation also supported the broader health system with a $273,658 grant to Legacy Health in 2025, showing that some funding reaches system-level priorities as well as the hospital itself. Beyond direct hospital support, the foundation’s program list includes community health grants tied to Legacy Health’s community benefit work, with a focus on community health, health equity, preventive care, and population health. It also lists scholarship support for nursing and medically related education, including scholarships administered with Linfield College and Legacy-affiliated partners. That mix shows a narrow but practical set of purposes: care delivery, workforce support, and community health planning.
