About Howard Hanna Children's Free Care Fund
Howard Hanna Children's Free Care Fund is built around one idea: children should not be denied care because of family finances. Its grantmaking supports free care funds at partner children’s hospitals and pediatric programs, with funding used for life-saving treatments, services for children with special needs, and end-of-life pediatric care that insurance does not cover. In the recent record, the largest grant went to Children’s Hospital Pittsburgh at $276,529 in 2025, and another major award went to Rainbow Babies & Children’s in Cleveland for $188,751 that same year. Those awards sit alongside repeated support for children’s hospitals in Pennsylvania, Ohio, New York, and Virginia. The fund’s work is not limited to one hospital system or one year; the list shows ongoing support for the same institutions across multiple years, often at substantial levels. That pattern points to a funder focused on hospital-linked pediatric safety-net care rather than broad, open-ended philanthropy.
What Howard Hanna Children's Free Care Fund Funds
A core area is pediatric hospital support. The fund gave $105,000 in 2025 to Children’s Hospital of the King’s Daughter Inc in Norfolk and $89,501 in 2025 to Children’s Hospital of Buffalo Foundation, both for children’s health causes. Another major theme is financial help for families facing medical bills. It awarded $79,938 in 2024 to Cleveland Clinic and $69,375 in 2025 to The Cleveland Clinic Foundation, each tied to children’s health causes in the grant record. The fund also supports children with special needs and complex care needs through hospital partners; for example, it gave $69,206 in 2025 to Children’s Hospital Medical Center of Akron. These grants align with a focus on pediatric healthcare, free medical care for uninsured or underinsured children, and support for life-saving treatments and end-of-life pediatric care.
How Howard Hanna Children's Free Care Fund Gives
Typical grants cluster in the mid-five-figure range, with a p25 of $14,550, a median of $23,769, and a p75 of $69,375. The recent record also includes much larger hospital awards, showing a wide spread between routine support and larger annual gifts. Recipients appear across multiple years, including repeated awards to the same children’s hospitals and pediatric foundations, which suggests ongoing institutional support rather than one-off project funding. The fund gives through named hospital and pediatric program grant channels and does not accept unsolicited applications. It is a regional funder, and the grant list shows program/project support tied to hospital partners.
