Meet the Nationwide Children's Foundation
The Foundation team serves to further the mission of Nationwide Children’s Hospital while meeting donor philanthropic goals. Comprised of highly skilled philanthropic professionals, our team includes a number of people who have been with Nationwide Children’s for more than a decade. We also have newer additions to the staff who have joined our team from prestigious institutions around the country.
At Nationwide Children’s, we believe that when your child needs a hospital, everything matters. And because of that belief, every gift matters. Whatever your charitable intentions, our team can help you improve the lives of children while bringing pride, joy, and a sense accomplishment to your family.
