Honor and Memorial Giving

Honor a loved one with a meaningful memorial

Children’s Minnesota’s tribute giving program provides a special opportunity to honor a loved one. It’s a powerful way to celebrate a meaningful milestone, or to create a memorial of those who have touched our lives. Your tribute gift can be designated to a specific program or area of Children’s Minnesota or to the area of greatest need.

There are a few ways to facilitate memorials: 

Create an honor page

By creating a fundraising page, you can create a page that honors your loved one’s life and create a lasting impact for future kids at Children’s Minnesota.

Some benefits:

  • Celebrate and share your loved one’s life/journey and connection to Children’s Minnesota
  • Share the page easily with friends and family locally and beyond
  • Receive donation updates (who gave) in real-time
  • Thank donors in a quicker time frame
  • Evergreen page – can direct friends and family on special days or milestones throughout the years
  • Set up donations to be designated/focus area your loved one cared about

Online Donations* 

Your loved ones can make gifts online by visiting www.childrensmn.org/giving and mark the gifts as a memorial. After selecting the donation amount, select ‘I’m making my gift in honor of someone’ followed by a box to enter the name of the person you want to honor.
