How You Can Help
Children First:
Putting Kids at the Center of Care
This CHF Day, and every day, Children’s Health Fund has brought care directly to children—no matter where they live or what challenges they face. With your support, we can do even more.
Why Children First
In a time when our country feels divided and systems feel strained, there is one truth we can all agree on: children deserve care, dignity, and opportunity. Children First is about putting kids back at the center of our choices, decisions, and priorities. It means ensuring that no matter where a child lives, what their family earns, or the circumstances they were born into, they have access to healthcare that protects and empowers them.
Families are facing rising costs, limited access, and uncertainty—and children feel the impact first. By choosing Children First, we choose stability over instability, support over silence, and hope over neglect.
What Your Support Makes Possible
Since our founding, supporters like you have made possible more than 7.5 million health visits for children who might otherwise have been overlooked.
Last year alone:
- More than 122,000 children and family members received care
- Nearly 500,000 medical, dental, and mental health visits were delivered
At a time when systems feel strained, your gift offers something steady: it tells a child they matter, a family they are not alone, and a community that children are worth protecting.
This CHF Day, and beyond, the mission that began nearly 40 years ago continues because people like you show up for children.
Please give today. Put children first.
