Endowments

What is an Endowment

The Children’s Hospital Foundation currently has five types of endowments: Endowed Chairs, Endowed Directorships, Endowed Professorships, Endowed Fellowships, and Endowed Funds, all of which help to ensure the continued excellence of hospital programs by supplementing operating support and allowing innovative programs to grow and excel. When a donor invests in an endowment, the gift supports clinical programs, research, education and advocacy in perpetuity.

The Importance of Endowments

• It is through endowments that Children’s is able to attract and retain the nation’s top medical researchers and world class physicians to care for the children of the Rocky Mountain region and beyond.
• Endowments recognize and promote excellence in pediatric medicine and signify the hospital’s commitment to support that work.
• Endowments help achieve breakthrough discoveries through the teaching and research they help to support.
• When donors give to support an endowment, that gift is preserved in perpetuity, ensuring that your gift will thrive and grow far into the future impacting the lives of children today and for many generations to come.
