Ways to Give

How Your Gift Helps

Your gift - no matter how big or small - helps us continue to provide world-class patient care and conduct pioneering research that can save children's lives and improve their quality of life.

Patient Care

Last fiscal year, Cincinnati Children’s provided more than $154 million of uncompensated care and financial assistance for children and families in need.

Research

The strength of our research efforts is evidenced by the support we receive from the National Institutes of Health (NIH). Cincinnati Children’s is in an elite group of only two children’s hospitals that receive more than $100 million dollars in research funding from the NIH.
NIH grants cover only about 50-60 percent of the total cost of our research. The balance of research costs, estimated at approximately $89 million in FY 08, is supported by hospital operations, endowment earnings and charitable support.

Cincinnati Children’s receives no tuition reimbursement for its education and training efforts.
