Our History
In June of 2019, The Children’s Foundation brand was launched as the umbrella marque for the dynamic and evolving partnerships of our organization. As an independent and innovative foundation, we are channelling our resources to focus on wellness, prevention, research and the many social determinants of health that impact children and families. Through fundraising, grant-making and advocacy the Children’s Foundation enables researchers and community organizations to identify and implement innovations capable of advancing children’s health and wellness.
A FOUNDATION ON THE MOVE
The Foundation has distributed more than $52 Million dollars in grant funding to more than 60 partners throughout the state. Current initiatives of the Children’s Foundation include, Children’s Hospital of Michigan Foundation, The Jamie Daniels Foundation, Healing Kids Foundation and the Paul W. Smith Golf Classic. Current areas of focus for the Foundation include mental health, nutritional wellness, abuse and neglect, oncology and cardiology research and injury prevention.
