Dell Children's Trust

Dell Children’s Trust, the Power of Together!

Dell Children’s Trust Members are ambassadors, advocates and philanthropists who leverage their collaborative giving to create impact today and into the future. Dell Children’s clinicians and staff apply for support for all areas of the hospital and Trust members vote to direct their pooled funds after learning about the front-line care needed for children in Central Texas. In 2024 Dell Children’s Trust will allocate 25% of its funding to the Endowment for Dell Children’s in a bold effort to elevate sustainability and continue innovative growth in pediatric care for generations to come.

As a group, Dell Children’s Trust has granted more than $4,959,914.10 through membership dues and special projects ($3,536,519.10) and Art of Giving ($1,423,395.00). Additionally, Children’s Trust members have been inspired to personally provide philanthropic support to Dell Children’s in excess of over 7 million dollars (outside of Children’s Trust grants).

Please welcome our 2024-2025 Dell Children’s Trust Ambassador – Ferrell Harper, aged 11, Dell Children’s Burn Survivor. Son of T and Taylor Harper and twin brother to Tommy. To read more about Ferrell’s courageous journey, please click here.
