Your donation, no matter the size, makes a big difference.
Your donation to Children’s Minnesota, no matter how small it may seem to you, makes a big difference to the kids we care for. As a nonprofit health system, we rely on the generosity of our community.
No child turned away
Every child we meet gets the best care, regardless of their ability to pay. Nearly half of our patients rely on Medicaid, which reimburses only 70 cents for every $1 of services. Donations cover the rest, which adds up to millions of dollars every year.
Supportive care services
Your donations fund unique care programs that support healing and lead to better outcomes. These programs are not reimbursed by insurance and don’t show up on a patient’s bill.
Clinical excellence
With your gift, we can continue to deliver world-class medical care and keep up with the latest innovations. You help us invest in cutting-edge technology, facilities and research, all of which have the power to change — and save lives.

Patient Stories
Clara
Clara has been part of the Children’s Minnesota family since before she was born. Diagnosed with spina bifida in utero, she and her mom underwent a groundbreaking fetal surgery in 2016 to partially repair the neural tube defect (an early intervention that leads to better outcomes and brighter futures). Today she’s active in adaptive sports, dancing and singing, and she comes to us often for ongoing care, primarily from our neuroscience experts. She loves interacting with our child life team, music therapy and Star Studio.
Temi
Temi was diagnosed at age 4 with dilated cardiomyopathy, a serious heart condition that requires highly specialized care. For 465 days, she lived in our Minneapolis hospital, tethered to a life-saving ventricular assist device, waiting for a heart transplant. And every one of those days, she and her family had the support of programs such as child life, music therapy, interpreter services, spiritual care and more. In 2024, Temi received a donor heart via transplant surgery performed by our cardiovascular experts, and today’s she’s thriving, active and full of energy.
Henrik
We met Henrik when he was just 14 months old. He suffered a serious skull fracture from a fall, which brought his family to our experts in trauma care and neurosurgery. Henrik’s recovery began with a series of complex operations on his still-developing brain, followed by a long stay in our pediatric intensive care unit. In his last surgery, he was fitted for a custom skull plate to further protect his head as he grows. We continue to welcome Henrik and his family for check-ups and therapy visits.
We need your help.
