About Children's Hospital
Children’s Hospital Inc. makes its largest recent grant to University Medical Center Management Corporation, a $52,649,003 award tied to working capital support. That single grant signals how closely the foundation funds hospital operations and health-system partnerships rather than broad, open-ended philanthropy. Across its recent grants, the foundation also backs affiliated clinical entities within the New Orleans health ecosystem, including New Orleans Clinical Services LLC and LCMC Health Clinical Services dba NOLA Physicians Group, again with working-capital language that points to operational support for healthcare delivery. Its stated purpose is to deliver pediatric care and community health programs for children from birth through young adulthood, regardless of ability to pay, and to improve child health outcomes across Louisiana and the Gulf South. The grant list shows a mix of large institutional support and smaller program awards for children’s health, family support, and community benefit. Recent funding also reaches pediatric and family-serving organizations such as the Louisiana Children’s Museum, the Louisiana Children’s Medical Center partnership, and the Miracle League, indicating a grantmaking pattern built around healthcare access, pediatric services, and local community programming.
What Children's Hospital Funds
In healthcare access, Children’s Hospital Inc. gave $781,230 to New Orleans Clinical Services LLC for working capital to support healthcare and educational activities, specifically for uninsured and underinsured patients. A related grant of $445,592 to LCMC Health Clinical Services dba NOLA Physicians Group also supported healthcare and educational activities for uninsured and underinsured patients. The foundation also funds health-system capacity building. It provided $523,408 to Louisiana Children’s Medical Center to further the LCMC and LSU partnership and expand access to state-of-the-art clinical services and clinical trials. For workforce development, it granted $384,010 to Louisiana State University to further nursing education in the areas served by LCMC’s member hospitals. Community-facing pediatric support appears in smaller program awards as well. Examples include $230,000 to Audubon Nature Institute, $70,000 to Louisiana Children’s Museum, and $25,000 to La Families for Vaccines, each listed for program support.
