Every Child Deserves a Healthy Future
CHILDRENS HOSPITAL INLAND EMPIRE FOUNDATION is dedicated to advancing pediatric care through family support programs, medical innovation, and community outreach—bringing hope and healing to children across the Inland Empire.
Our Program
“Supporting Health, Empowering Families, Advancing Pediatric Care”
At CHILDRENS HOSPITAL INLAND EMPIRE FOUNDATION, our programs are designed to deliver direct, life-changing support to children and families in need. Rooted in compassion and driven by impact, each program addresses a vital area of pediatric health — from access to care and family stability to medical innovation and outreach.
We proudly operate a range of initiatives that bring critical services and hope to communities across the Inland Empire.
Pediatric Medical Support
At CHILDRENS HOSPITAL INLAND EMPIRE FOUNDATION, we believe that no child should be denied medical care because of financial hardship. Through our Pediatric Medical Support program, we help children facing serious and life-threatening conditions receive the essential care they need to survive and thrive. Whether it’s covering the cost of a life-saving surgery, providing access to medications, or ensuring hospitals have the pediatric equipment required to treat young patients, this program is a vital lifeline for families in crisis. By working closely with local hospitals and care teams, we make it possible for children to receive timely, specialized treatment that can make all the difference in their journey to healing.
Family Assistance Grants
When a child is hospitalized or undergoing long-term treatment, the emotional and financial toll on families can be overwhelming. Our Family Assistance Grants are designed to ease that burden, offering practical, compassionate support to help families stay close and focused on their child’s recovery. From covering travel expenses and temporary lodging to offering help with meals and daily essentials, these grants provide stability during some of the most difficult moments a family can face. By lifting financial strain, we allow parents and caregivers to be fully present with their child—because being together during treatment can be just as powerful as the medicine itself.
Community Outreach
Improving children’s health means reaching families long before they enter a hospital. Through our Community Outreach & Education program, we bring essential health resources directly into underserved neighborhoods across the Inland Empire. We host wellness fairs, offer mobile clinics, and partner with schools and local groups to provide preventive screenings, vaccinations, and education on nutrition, hygiene, and mental health. These outreach efforts not only promote early intervention and awareness, but also empower families to make informed decisions about their children’s health. By breaking down barriers to access and information, we’re building a healthier, more resilient future—one family at a time.
About us
Empowering Pediatric Wellness Across the Inland Empire
At CHILDRENS HOSPITAL INLAND EMPIRE FOUNDATION is a nonprofit organization committed to improving the health and well-being of children across our community. Located in Ontario, California, we support life-saving pediatric care, strengthen families in crisis, and fund innovative healthcare solutions that give every child a chance to thrive.
Founded on the principles of philanthropy, voluntarism, and grantmaking, our foundation works hand-in-hand with local hospitals, research institutions, caregivers, and community partners to address the most pressing healthcare needs of children. We believe that access to quality medical care should never be determined by a family’s financial circumstances.
Our Approach:
We take a holistic, family-centered approach to care—recognizing that a child’s recovery is supported not just by medicine, but also by emotional stability, community connection, and the unwavering presence of loved ones.
Our Core Value: Guided by Compassion, Driven by Purpose
At CHILDRENS HOSPITAL INLAND EMPIRE FOUNDATION, our work is anchored in a deep commitment to children, families, and the communities we serve. These core values guide every decision we make and every life we touch.
Compassion
At the heart of our foundation is compassion — the unwavering empathy we extend to every child and family we serve. We listen deeply, act with kindness, and create environments of comfort and care that foster healing and hope.
Equity
We are committed to building a healthcare landscape where every child, no matter their background or circumstance, has equal access to the medical support they deserve. Our programs are designed to break down barriers and uplift underserved communities with fairness and dignity.
Integrity
We uphold the highest standards of honesty, accountability, and transparency in everything we do. Whether it’s how we manage donations or how we serve families, our actions reflect our deep responsibility to earn and keep the trust of our community.
Collaboration
We believe lasting impact comes from working together. By uniting with healthcare professionals, community leaders, donors, and volunteers, we amplify our reach and ensure that the collective strength of our partnerships drives meaningful change for children in need.
Our Mission
“To improve the health and well-being of children in our community through philanthropy, voluntarism, and grantmaking.”
At CHILDRENS HOSPITAL INLAND EMPIRE FOUNDATION, our mission is to ensure that every child — regardless of their background, income, or medical condition — receives compassionate, high-quality healthcare. We do this by mobilizing community support, funding essential medical services, and empowering pediatric innovation. Through our collaborative efforts with hospitals, families, donors, and volunteers, we address urgent needs, close healthcare gaps, and help children heal, grow, and thrive.
Our Vision
“A future where every child in the Inland Empire has access to the care, support, and opportunities they need to live a healthy, fulfilling life.”
We envision a region where no child suffers due to lack of resources, where medical excellence meets human compassion, and where communities unite to protect and nurture their youngest members. Our vision drives us to create sustainable change — one hospital, one family, one child at a time.
Our Impact: Making Hope Tangible for Families in Need
At CHILDRENS HOSPITAL INLAND EMPIRE FOUNDATION, impact isn’t measured only in numbers—it’s seen in the relieved smile of a parent, the hopeful eyes of a child after treatment, and the restored strength of a family given support in their darkest hour.
Since our founding, we’ve helped hundreds of children across the Inland Empire gain access to urgent medical care, supported families with critical financial relief, and brought health education and services into communities that need them most. Our programs have funded life-saving surgeries, kept parents close to their hospitalized children, and made healthcare more equitable and accessible for those who often fall through the cracks.
Each act of generosity—whether from a donor, a volunteer, or a partner—fuels the healing work we do every day. Together, we’re not just responding to urgent needs; we’re building a future where no child is denied care because of their family’s income, zip code, or circumstance.
Turning Compassion into Action – One Project at a Time
We translate our mission into real-world impact through targeted, high-impact projects that uplift the health and well-being of children and their families. Each project is designed to address specific community needs with measurable outcomes.
Family Comfort Housing Program
“Because Healing Happens Best When Families Stay Together.”
When a child is facing serious illness, the last thing families should worry about is where to stay. The Family Comfort Housing Program ensures that parents and caregivers remain close to their hospitalized child by offering temporary lodging support, travel stipends, and meals during extended hospital stays.
Many families must travel long distances for specialized care unavailable in their local communities. Our program removes the burden of costly accommodations and provides a safe, comfortable space where families can rest, recharge, and stay emotionally connected to their child during treatment.
Key Features:
Emotional support resources and referrals
Emergency lodging grants near treatment centers
Meal vouchers and transportation assistance
Family care kits for extended stays
Pediatric Innovation & Research
“Fueling the Next Generation of Life-Saving Ideas.”
The Pediatric Innovation & Research Fund empowers hospitals, researchers, and healthcare innovators working to improve child health outcomes. From developing new therapies to enhancing patient care through technology, we invest in forward-thinking projects that promise real breakthroughs for children.
We fund both clinical research and hospital-based pilot programs that explore better treatment methods, early diagnostics, and care delivery models specifically designed for the pediatric population.
Our Focus Areas Include:
Health equity-focused initiatives
Pediatric disease research and early detection tools
Hospital pilot programs for patient-centered innovations
Collaborations with universities and medical institutions
