Ways to Contribute
Just as our physicians and staff touch lives and change the future through patient care and education, our donors touch lives and change the future through their sharing and generosity. Because of contributions, the Rocky Mountain Children's Health Foundation (RMCHF) is able to continue providing support, resources, and hope to pediatric patients and their families. Your philanthropic support helps RMCHF achieve its mission to make a difference in the lives of children and their families being cared for by the Rocky Mountain Hospital for Children's healthcare network.
Donations to the Rocky Mountain Children’s Health Foundation, a 501(c)3 charity, are tax-deductible and will directly help: families who need assistance while their children are hospitalized or under treatment; nurses, physicians and staff for education to improve medical care for children; and our community through grants.
There are many ways to support our mission, including:

Endowments
A legacy gift to the Rocky Mountain Children's Health Foundation is special and unique to your needs and desires. Usually the legacy is established through the inclusion of RMCHF in your will, via an insurance policy, or through a planned giving instrument. An endowment is a gift that provides a powerful message: I believe in the Rocky Mountain Children's Health Foundation and trust RMCHF to use my gift for my legacy once I have passed away. The message of trust and charity left behind is where the greatest treasure lies.
