About CCHF | Canada’s Children’s Hospital Foundationsrr

We believe every kid should have a childhood

That’s why we raise funds and awareness to support 13 of Canada’s children’s hospitals. In fact, we’re the single largest non-government funder of children’s health in Canada.

Our mission is big

We’re on a journey to raise support so paediatric hospitals can provide critical services and equipment that accelerate recoveries, shorten hospital stays and get kids back to living the childhoods they deserve.

We do it for the kids

Whether it’s your child, the child of someone you know, or a child in your community, we’re here to stand up for all sick children, so they have the most fulfilling, healthiest childhood possible.

We don’t do it alone

We receive incredible support and generous contributions from our partners, signature programs like Children’s Miracle Network and individual donors like you.

When you support us, you’re supporting excellence in paediatric healthcare

We believe in child and family-centred care

Child and family-centred care aims to alleviate the stress and trauma of treatment. This innovative approach incorporates aspects of childhood into paediatric care — like music therapy, smartphone apps, children’s playrooms, family lounges and more — that give children a respite from treatment and a return to childhood, even if only for a moment, an hour or a day.
