Our heart behind Words & Wisdom: Supporting unstoppable kids
How will this year's proceeds be used?
The Senior Board of Children’s Hospital Foundation is proud to share that proceeds from Words & Wisdom will be dedicated to flexible philanthropic funding, helping Children’s Hospital of Richmond at VCU prepare for the unknown. This support is critical to CHoR’s mission as a safety net hospital, treating all children regardless of insurance status or ability to pay.
What is flexible funding?
Flexible philanthropic funding gives CHoR the ability to address priorities across all areas of the hospital’s mission.
Supporting innovative projects that enhance clinical care, advance research and improve the patient and family experience, CHoR uses philanthropic funds for high impact ideas, including seed funding for new initiatives,
pilot studies or program expansions that may not be funded through traditional sources.
