Why Us?

CHOP is a charitable, nonprofit Hospital, and philanthropic gifts are vital to making tomorrow's breakthroughs possible for children today. With your help we can transform the patient-family experience, forge new discoveries, bolster training and education programs, advocate for children in underserved communities, and quickly respond to new opportunities.

Why Here?

As North America’s first pediatric hospital, and one of the best in the world, only CHOP can assemble the best talent and deepest resources, the widest range of research and clinical care, and the most robust tools to accelerate the prevention and cure of illnesses that keep kids from being kids.

Why Now?

Now is the time to ensure that CHOP has the resources to keep creating the firsts in pediatric medicine for which we are world-renowned. We must set the standard of care for others to follow across the nation and around the world, and we must never stop pushing those standards ever higher.

For Tomorrow's Breakthroughs

The Campaign for Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia will raise a historic $1 billion to drive CHOP’s progress in pioneering more solutions to help every child, every family who turns to us, while also revolutionizing pediatric medicine for all.
