About Children'S Hospital of Philadelphia
The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia concentrates its recent grantmaking on pediatric research, with some of the largest awards going to the Trustees of the University of Pennsylvania for research across 2023, 2024, and 2025. That three-year pattern stands out in the grant list and shows a funder backing work over time rather than only one-off awards. The foundation’s philanthropic support also reaches large research institutions and children’s hospitals well beyond Philadelphia, including the Public Health Institute in Oakland and Cincinnati Children's Hospital in Cincinnati. Its stated mission is to support and advance pediatric healthcare through clinical care, research, innovation, and community programs. The recent grants reflect that mix, with awards for research appearing alongside support connected to child health infrastructure and specialized pediatric work. Seven Bridges Genomics Inc, Stanford University, Baylor College of Medicine, and Seattle Children's Hospital all appear among the larger recipients, indicating a portfolio that includes universities, hospitals, and research organizations. In the latest 990 year on file, the foundation reported annual grants of $183,571,726 and total assets of $8,131,937,980, placing its grantmaking at a scale that can support multi-year pediatric research and care initiatives.
