Ways to Give

Support kids and families at Lucile Packard Children’s Hospital Stanford while you shop. Take advantage of the donation opportunities below, and check back often for new promotions.

Many of our supporters give via a donor-advised fund (DAF), which is an investment account for charitable dollars. Visit our DAF page to learn more about how to set up a donor-advised fund or how to use these accounts to donate to Lucile Packard Children’s Hospital and Stanford School of Medicine:

When you give to the Children’s Fund, your donation supports patients and their families at Lucile Packard Children’s Hospital Stanford and research supporting child and maternal health at the Stanford School of Medicine. You can choose to designate your gift to the Children’s Fund or the child health program that is most meaningful to you. Any way you give, 100% of your gift will be used for the purpose you choose.

The Children’s Fund provides flexible support for our hospital’s highest ongoing priorities:

• care for all children and expectant mothers in our region who need specialized treatment, regardless of their family’s ability to pay,
• research grants that enable our physicians, caregivers, and scientists to turn innovative ideas into better care for children and expectant mothers, and
• family and community services that promote healing, such as chaplaincy or recreation therapy, as well as programs like our Teen Health Van and Safely Home car seat fit checks that offer more families access to life-saving care.

Or designate your gift to other priority areas, such as:

• mother and baby care – the Johnson Center for Pregnancy and Newborn Services,
• children’s heart care – the Betty Irene Moore Children’s Heart Center
• cancer research – pediatric cancer research at the Stanford School of Medicine and the Bass Center for Childhood Cancer and Blood Diseases, and
• health equity – the Packard Family Cares Fund  

Simply designate your gift on our online donation form. Questions? Email us at [email protected].
