Frequently asked questions
Cincinnati Children's charges for services, why do we need donations?
As a nonprofit health system, all of our earnings are reinvested back into our mission. Philanthropy helps us do more, allowing us to pursue bold ideas and continually innovate—and it can be useful in supporting efforts that might not yet be ready to secure more traditional funding. Philanthropic dollars are also incredibly nimble, allowing us to move faster, filling funding gaps that can slow progress, helping us bring new treatments and improvements to children and families sooner.
Can I designate my gift?
Yes. You can designate your gift to your area of passion at the health system. You can select one of the offered designations or enter an other option.
