SickKids Foundation is the largest non-governmental granting agency in child health in Canada. Established in 1972,
SickKids Foundation has granted over $500 million to The Hospital for Sick Children and over $60 million
to researchers across the country.
Through its National Grants Program, SickKids Foundation invests $4
million annually across Canada in paediatric research, focusing on issues important to children's health which
have not been addressed elsewhere.

At SickKids they do everything in there power to make this happen. - They care for close
to 100,000 patients every year.
- They do open-heart surgeries on babies small enough to fit in the
palm of your hand.
- They correct terrible deformities, heal cancers, and treat massive burns on little
bodies.
- They invented treatments that 20 years ago people would have dismissed as science fiction.
- Treatments that continue to have a profound impact on the lives of children.
- Your
support has led to discoveries that have meant less pain for children, a higher survival rate and less time in hospital.
- Your support helps fund life-changing equipment and facilities and enables them to attract the best doctors,
researchers and nurses in the world
Thankfully, many children get through their childhood with nothing more than minor illnesses and a few cuts and scrapes.
But for those whose lives are interrupted by serious injury or illness, there is SickKids. Breakthroughs are happening
every day at SickKids, but not for every child. While the children who are treated at SickKids receive unparalleled care,
there continues to be a need for increased knowledge in childhood diseases. SickKids is already recognized as being
a world leader in children's health research and care.
