Who We Are
We provide agile financial support to the special programs that support children and families with wrap-around care at Children's Minnesota. CHA ensures that kids and families visiting Children’s Minnesota have access to the best—and most holistic—pediatric care in the Twin Cities.
What We Do
We fund and steward specific programs at Children's Minnesota through our annual grants, supporting vital, holistic healthcare services rarely covered by insurance. Each year, CHA accepts proposals from hospital staff for programs and services that provide wrap-around services. Grant applications are reviewed and scored by a special committee. CHA-funded programs help with everything from coordinating care to providing education to caregivers. Without philanthropy, many CHA-funded programs would not exist or would be an additional cost to families.
You can increase our impact by giving today.
How You Can Help
We believe every child deserves comprehensive care, and we need your help to make that a reality in Minnesota and beyond. Please join us in CHAnging the lives of pediatric patients and their families coming to Children's Minnesota from across Minnesota and beyond.
Legacy Program Partners
Legacy Program Partners are programs strongly aligned with our mission that have received funding through our annual grant program for many years consecutively. These programs have also relied on CHA funding since their inception and/or significantly rely on CHA funding to remain accessible to children and families. Our shared history and ongoing collaboration provide care for the whole child and support for the whole family.
"[Midwest Children's Resource Center (MCRC)] likely would not exist without a partner like CHA. [...] decades ahead of their peers, CHA supported the innovative idea that child abuse services are important for child health and should be integrated into the pediatric health care system. [...] With CHA's ongoing support, MCRC has become an integral part of our community's response to child maltreatment and has impacted the health, safety and well-being of countless children."
—May Zuniga, MCRC Business Supervisor
