Ways to Give: Cumulative giving to any and all areas below will be counted towards your annual total
Give to our area of greatest need - The Kids Fund
Our Kid’s Fund ensures every child receives extraordinary care, regardless of his or her family’s ability to pay for treatment. Caring for kids includes costs adult hospitals do not have – from kid-sized equipment to kid and family-centered services not covered by insurance. Your gift to the Kids Fund, our most vital fund, is put to work immediately. Whether helping purchase new life-saving equipment or preemie diapers for our NICU, every dollar of your unconditional support impacts the most pressing needs of our patients, families, and our frontline caregivers. For more information contact Susan Hudlow at Susan.Hudlow@lcmchealth.org.
Corporate Giving
Sponsor one of Children’s Hospital’s signature events - Sugarplum Ball, Boo at the Zoo, or the Children’s Hospital New Orleans Holiday Parade. Your business or organization can also make a financial contribution, host a point-of-sale campaign, or cause marketing fundraiser in your store front. Becoming a corporate partner is a powerful way to join us in our commitment to shape a healthier, happier future for Louisiana and position your brand as one who cares about the wellbeing of our kids.

Help build Walker’s Imaginarium
Help Children's Hospital and Kids Join The Fight build a first-of-its-kind 12,000 square-foot child enrichment center, named Walker's Imaginarium. Walker’s Imaginarium will not only provide a therapeutic space for patients and families to enjoy time together while in the hospital, but it will also be a place for them to thrive and find joy. The Imaginarium is a first of its kind project in the region and will be made possible through friends like you. Project planning, architectural and exhibit design are underway while capital fundraising efforts continue. To learn about naming opportunities and other levels of support, please Contact Kristen Robinson at Kristen.Robinson@lcmchealth.org
Restricted Giving

From Behavioral Health to our Heart Center, and our world-class Cancer Care to our many patient-family assistance funds, your gift can be designated to a service line most meaningful to you. You can also support any of our current restricted funds including our Patient-Family Assistance Fund, which provides critical assistance to our patient families in need of financial support while their child receives care at Children's Hospital, or Hales Fund for Community Benefits Programs, which supports programs like the CARE Center, Immunization bus, ThriveKids and more, our Child Life and Creative Therapies Fund and more.
