Why Your Gift Is Important

Your gift helps Nemours conduct innovative research and provide life-saving care for children. With you, we will continue to discover new cures and comfort families as their child receives treatment. Thanks to philanthropy, Nemours can offer the promise to create the healthiest generations of children.

That’s because, along with world-class research and clinical care, Nemours is unique in providing preventive programs. We educate health professionals and families and bring attention to children’s health issues at the local, state and federal levels — all aimed at helping to ensure the well-being of every child.

 

How Your Gift Helps Children

Thank you for supporting Nemours Children's Health and for touching the lives of children with your generosity. At Nemours, we treat every child as our own — and transform lives in extraordinary ways. We have made it our mission to pursue life-saving research and provide world-class pediatric care in our hospitals and clinics.

As one of the largest not-for-profit organizations devoted to children’s health, Nemours invests in programs and services that benefit the health and lives of children. No matter how small or large, your gift is vital to our mission of helping and healing children.

Your gifts advance these endeavors:

  • Provide much-needed outpatient psychosocial support for patients in the Nemours Center for Cancer and Blood Disorders
  • Perform an epidemiologic study to determine the frequency of cytomegalovirus, an infection that can cause several serious medical issues, including hearing loss.
  • Helps to fund Angel Eyes, a tool that allows a mother in a separate location to view and talk to their infant in the Nemours Children’s Hospital, Delaware NICU.
  • Celebrate prom, a special event for chronically ill children in our inpatient and outpatient setting who miss the chance to attend prom with their classmates due to their medical condition or treatment.
  • And so much more.

Ways to Give

Become a Sustaining Donor

Have an ongoing impact because kids’ health cannot wait. A sustaining donor is someone who gives an auto-renewing donation (biweekly, monthly, quarterly, etc.).

Donor-Advised Funds

A donor-advised fund (DAF) is a centralized charitable account. It allows philanthropically inclined individuals, families and businesses to make tax-deductible charitable donations of cash, publicly traded stock and, in some cases, certain illiquid assets to a public charity.

Corporate Matching Gifts

Did you know that thousands of employers will match donations made to Nemours? Employee matching gift programs are corporate giving programs in which the company matches donations made by employees to eligible nonprofit organizations. It's an easy way to double your contribution to us.

To Honor or Remember

Make a gift as a thoughtful way to celebrate a cherished family member, friend or health care professional.

Leave a Legacy

We can help you explore the various ways to create your legacy at Nemours — one that offers flexibility, allowing you to make a meaningful contribution at the best time and in the best manner for you. You can make a gift to Nemours in your will or trust, designate Nemours as the beneficiary of retirement accounts or life insurance or donate noncash assets such as real estate. In whatever form, your gift will support the vital work of Nemours and help bring hope and healing to children and their families. Download Our Statement of Future Gifts Form

Stock and Mutual Funds

A stock gift is truly an investment that pays its dividends by giving children healthier futures. Your gift of stock or appreciated securities can provide much-needed support for patient care, biomedical research or health and education initiatives at Nemours while at the same time providing you with significant tax benefits.

Corporate Alliance Program

The Corporate Alliance program focuses on partnerships with companies to significantly impact the children we serve. A strong collaboration demonstrates a business’s commitment to the community and increases philanthropic support for Nemours through donations, sponsorships and cause marketing campaigns (e.g., point-of-sale, branded products and give-backs).

Grateful Patient

We have established a Grateful Patient and Family Philanthropy Program to provide opportunities for families to express their thanks for the care their loved ones received at Nemours Children’s.
