Make a Gift

American Family Children’s Hospital is charity that is part of University of Wisconsin Hospital and Clinics, a 501 (c) (3) organization. Because the hospital operates without any state subsidy, we must rely on charitable giving to serve all of the patients and families that need us.

Charitable gifts are always needed to support these goals:

  • Adding more critical care beds and operating rooms
  • Enhancing Child Life programs that let kids be kids while in the hospital
  • Supporting programs to help prevent and treat childhood injuries, child abuse, and obesity
  • Easing the burden of having a hospitalized child by providing sibling care, meals, and gas cards
  • Supporting cutting-edge research to find more cures for childhood diseases
