Grantmakers' Meeting

Each spring, a group of hand-selected researchers pitch next generation, budding research concepts to the Children’s Trust members for a chance at winning seed funding to help kickstart their research. Trust members collectively vote to award grants to the projects whose work aims to improve pediatric health, giving them direct influence on the future of medicine. Members receive quarterly research updates, providing them a behind the scenes look at their philanthropic contributions in action.
