About Children'S Hospital of Philadelphia Foundation
The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia Foundation’s largest recent grants are tied directly to CHOP itself: $127,397,530 in 2024 and $115,423,221 in 2023, both listed as “to benefit CHOP.” That pattern places the hospital at the center of the foundation’s giving and shows a philanthropic model built around sustained support for one institution and its affiliated clinical organizations. Recent grants also extend to Children's Health Care Associates Inc, Children's Surgical Associates Ltd, Radiology Associates of Chop, and Children's Anesthesiology Associates Ltd, each receiving multi-million-dollar support in both 2023 and 2024. The grant descriptions point to designated support for operating and program needs rather than broad, open-ended philanthropy. The foundation’s own summary describes support for “the people, places and programs that save lives and advance pediatric healthcare” through philanthropy, research, clinical care, and community programs, which aligns with the way its recent awards are structured. Across the recent record, the foundation appears to fund pediatric medicine through institutional and multi-beneficiary support rather than individual grants.

Anesthesiology is another named area, with Children's Anesthesiology Associates Ltd receiving $3,303,498 in 2024 and $2,913,585 in 2023. These grants show funding for the clinical groups that support pediatric care delivery alongside the hospital’s broader work.
