How Your Support Helps

Access for All

1 in 4

Chicago children lives in poverty

When children are facing a health crisis the last thing their family should worry about is the cost of care. Donations to Lurie Children’s help us help families who are underinsured or uninsured so they can focus on their child, not on their finances.

Kid-Friendly Environment

1,800+

Art therapy sessions provided to patients each year, free of charge

From diagnosis through treatment—It requires compassion and understanding that kids do best when they get to be kids. Donations help make the hospital experience less scary for kids and more supportive for families. Gifts help fund services that insurance doesn’t cover and programs that families don’t receive a bill for like pet therapy.

Extraordinary Care

~240,000

Individual patients care for by Lurie Children’s each year

Having a world-class children’s hospital in Chicago has never been more important. Donations help ensure we have the latest technology and the most talented, equipped staff leading to better outcomes for our patients.

Advanced Research

386

Researchers searching for cures and better treatments

Lurie Children’s is actively working to prevent and treat diseases and give families the assurance that their child will receive the most effective treatment as quickly as possible. Your gift helps fund important research initiatives that are changing the future of care for children everywhere.

Stronger Communities

7,000

Emergency room visits and hospitalizations by youth for violence-related injury in Chicago (2016-2018)

When communities are safe and strong, kids are less likely to end up in the hospital. A gift to Lurie Children’s helps us address the inequitable distribution of resources across Chicago and allows us to confront issues facing local kids like gun violence, mental health issues and food access challenges.

Your Gift to Lurie Children’s

All donations made to Lurie Children’s are tax deductible and support our patients and their families. When you make a donation, you’ll receive a tax receipt and regular updates on the impact of your gift. You can make an even bigger impact by making a recurring gift so we can count on your support each month.
