Make a Gift

Great things happen through the gifts you give to the Foundation of Children’s Hospitals and Clinics of Minnesota. You can join us in creating our vision of healthy hearts for more children, achieved through earlier diagnosis and intervention, less invasive treatments, and continuing care as children grow into adulthood.



Donate to the Heart Fund

Donate funds to help families coping with cardiovascular conditions and the staff members who care for them to help provide resources such as:

Lodging for families. Some families travel far distances to receive care at Children’s. Through this fund, you can help families remain by their child’s side during treatment.
Education and training. Through this fund, you can help physicians and nurses learn about the latest advances in their field, so they can provide better care.
Unbudgeted equipment. The Heart Fund makes sure families have access to the latest equipment available for diagnosis and treatment of pediatric cardiovascular conditions.

Support cardiovascular care via Fill a Room with Care



The Fill a Room with Care program will create 280 new private patient rooms on our Minneapolis and St. Paul hospital campuses, including the cardiovascular unit. These rooms provide clinical benefits and meet the unique medical and emotional needs of families.

Visit our virtual room tour to experience one of our new private patient rooms.
Go to FillaRoomWithCare.org to make a donation.

Donate funds for cardiovascular research

Children’s Cardiovascular Research Fund (Fund 41128) supports collection and analysis of data for cardiovascular studies. You can support pediatric cardiovascular research through donating money, stocks, or assets set aside in your will. Visit our Ways to Give page for a range of ideas on how to donate to Children's.

Give in honor of or in memory of someone you love



The Stars of Caring program is an exceptional way to show you care. These gifts can be given for joyous occasions such as births, birthdays, and anniversaries and also can be a way to express sympathy, concern, or to remember a loved one. You can also give to honor a doctor or other caregiver at Children’s.
