About Us
Join Our Mission for World-class Pediatric Care, Education, and Discovery
UPMC Children’s Hospital Foundation is the sole fundraising arm of UPMC Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh.
Annually, UPMC Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh serves more than 1.5 million children from our region, all 50 states and nearly 70 countries around the world. In response to the growing number of children who need care and the extensive scope of their needs, we are leading a comprehensive campaign to unite the support of our community. Through this campaign, we aim to strengthen the hospital’s capabilities, expand access to care, and transform the trajectory of children’s health in the hospital and beyond its walls.
At This Moment, we invite you to take part in building a future where every child is healthy and thriving. More than any moment in our 130-year history, right now donor support is the most critical piece we need to ensure life-changing care is accessible for children today and for generations to come.
Join us in supporting UPMC Children’s physicians, nurses, and staff who work tirelessly to provide expert care to children and their families in their times of greatest need.
