What we aim to solve

SOURCE: Self-reported by organization

Valley Children's Healthcare Foundation raises needed funds to support Valley Children's Healthcare's treatment of ill and injured kids across our service area in California's Central Valley. Approximately 11% of the region's 1.3 million children ages 0 to 20 are treated by Valley Children's each for a total of over 350,000 patient visits. The Emergency Department at Valley Children's Hospital in Madera provides care for approximately 100,000 patient visits annually. Valley Children's Healthcare is improving access to pediatric care and seeks to ensure that every child in our service area lives within 30 miles of a Valley Children's Healthcare facility. Valley Children's Healthcare has expanded its network in recent years to offer services in Madera, Fresno, Modesto, Merced, Visalia, and Bakersfield with new facilities planned for Clovis, Fowler, Modesto, and Bakersfield.

Charting impact

Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.

Valley Children's Healthcare Foundation has three primary goals: (1) raise $15 million in philanthropic support in fiscal year 2024 to support the healthcare network; (2) enhance our digital strategy by introducing new capabilities to engage donors; and (3) increase the total endowment corpus to $35 million by December 31, 2025.

In order to achieve our goal to raise $15 million in philanthropic support in FY 2024 to support the healthcare network, we must meet several fundraising targets in order to achieve our total revenue objective:
-$7 million in unrestricted revenue
-$5.275 million in temporarily restricted revenue (program support)
-$2.725 million in permanently restricted revenue (endowment support)

In order to achieve our goal to enhance our digital strategy:
We are utilizing a software platform to better engage donors.
Leverage technology to connect with constituents, build better reporting, and fundraise smarter.
Share patient stories in more compelling ways to better connect with our donor community.

In order to increase the total endowment corpus to $35 million by December 31, 2025, we have two strategies to implement:
The Guilds of Valley Children's Hospital seeks to raise $1 million annually in endowed funds.
Valley Children's Healthcare Foundation must raise $1.865 million annually in endowed funds.

We believe that we are capable of raising $15 million in philanthropic support annually to support the healthcare network for two primary reasons:
We have 17 full-time, professional fundraising staff members dedicated to achievement of this goal with the collective experience necessary to achieve it.
In the last five years we have raised $77 million dollars demonstrating a growth trend with a goal of achieving $100M by 2028.
Our capabilities to achieve our goal is to improve access to pediatric healthcare services for Central Valley kids by expanding our healthcare network in the Central Valley, specifically in communities along the Highway 99 corridor, include the vision, capital, internal staff, and external partners required. Valley Children's Healthcare has opened a new care centers in Bakersfield, Modesto, and Fowler.

Goal #1: Raise $15 million in philanthropic support in FY 2024 to support the healthcare network.
-We are at 100% of the annual goal at the completion of Q2.

Enhance our digital strategy by introducing new capabilities to our engage donors:
-The software capabilities introduced allowed donors to give utilizing various payment platforms enabling better access
-New capabilities have strengthened our peer-to-peer fundraising efforts
-Most recent campaign yielded an increase of 30%

In order to increase the total endowment corpus to $35 million by December 31, 2025, we have two strategies to implement:
-As of May 2024, we are on track to exceed the endowment corpus goal.
