About Nationwide Childrens Hospital Group Return
A defining feature of Nationwide Childrens Hospital Group Return is the size of its support for patient care and research at Nationwide Children’s Hospital and its related entities. The largest recent grant in the data was $113,917,509 in 2025 to Nationwide Children's Hospital to aid in providing indigent care and to support programs such as volunteer services, hematology/oncology, obesity prevention, and community education. Another major 2025 grant of $70,706,886 went to the Research Institute at Nch for research initiatives, showing that the funder moves substantial resources into both care delivery and medical research. The foundation’s portfolio also reaches beyond core hospital operations into pediatric academic work and child-focused services. Grants to the Pediatric Academic Association supported operations and endowed chairs, while funding for the Center for Child & Family Advocacy at Nch and the Nch Child Assessment Center points to a steady commitment to child advocacy and assessment. The overall picture is a funder built around improving pediatric outcomes through clinical care, research, and supporting institutions that extend services to children and families.
