The Mission of Dell Children’s Foundation
is to raise philanthropic dollars
in an ethical and strategic way to impact the
most children with the best care.
Our vision for the future is to endow the hospital
so that our efforts today will, in perpetuity,
help to heal and bring hope to children
in future generations.
Imagine a world where every child, regardless of their financial circumstances, has access to the best medical care available—close to home.
