Ways to Give to Stead Family Children's Hospital
Your Support Makes a Difference
The ability to offer the best possible care for our pediatric patients and their families in a welcoming environment is due, in part, to our generous supporters. Thanks to gifts from individuals, organizations, and communities, we have been able to:
- Offer programs and services that enhance the emotional well-being of our patients and their families, making the hospital feel as comfortable and home-like as possible
- Purchase advanced medical technology that can more easily diagnose or treat childhood conditions
- Expand and renovate our facilities to reflect our commitment to family-centered care.
Children’s Miracle Network Fundraising Efforts
University of Iowa Health Care Stead Family Children’s Hospital is one of over 170 Children’s Miracle Network affiliated partner children’s hospitals across the United States and Canada with the mission of bringing people together to raise money for children’s health care.
Locally, we proudly collaborate with corporate donors, media, Dance Marathon programs, and the gaming and golf communities—ensuring every dollar raised here stays here. Since 1988, these collective efforts have generated over $100 million to support our hospital.
How can your cash gift help?
- Our Child Life Specialists understand what kids need most during their hospital stay. Your gift allows them to purchase items that will help their physical and emotional needs.
- By contributing a financial gift, we are able to buy items as we need them and restock our gift closets and playrooms. This is important because we have very limited storage space.
- We care for patients from newborns through the teen years. Your donation allows us to buy items appropriate for all of our patients, regardless of age.
- Donations of all sizes can add up to a big impact!
