Corporation and Foundation Involvement

Partnerships with the private sector play an important role in the work of the Children’s Health Fund (CHF). By supporting CHF’s innovative medical programs, ranging from state-of-the-art mobile medical and dental units to targeted policy initiatives, our corporate and foundation partners are investing in enduring health care solutions for poor and underserved children nationwide.

By supporting CHF's innovative medical projects, your corporation or foundation will provide enduring health care solutions for poor and undeserved children nationwide.
