Mission and programs · 2022

Mission

Children's Health Fund leads a national network to bring comprehensive healthcare to children growing up in under-resourced communities and advocates for the health and well-being of all children.See Schedule O.Our vision is that all children receive the healthcare they deserve and need to thrive and succeed. Through our Healthy & Ready to Learn program, public health initiatives, policy and advocacy work, response to public health crises, and the work of our National Network partners, we provide support and access to comprehensive healthcare services to children living in under-resourced communities throughout the United States.

Activities or mission (Part I)

To provide health care to the nation's most medically underserved children and their families.

  • National Health - The national network is unique because it comprises healthcare providers who work at the community level, building trust and providing resource-intensive care that people in these communities would not otherwise receive.Children's Health Fund sees steady annualized growth each year by expanding our national clinical site network, adding innovative programming, and responding to public health crises. In 2022, our national network partners served 118,019 children and family members in 513,654 clinical and health education encounters, an increase of more than 16% in individuals served. See Schedule O.The increase in individuals corresponded with an almost 15% increase in medical visits, likely a result of easing COVID-19 concerns due to vaccination and declining infections.Expanded Access to Care - In 2022, CHF produced health education materials on subjects critical to the well-being of children, such as managing asthma and supporting children's social-emotional learning. A series of virtual discussions with special guestsincluding experts from the frontlines helped CHF address issues that children across our country face daily. To supplement our internal capacity to contribute to evidence-based practices, CHF created the research accelerator cohort, which leverages the participants' expertise to develop large-scale, mission-critical, cross-site research proposals. This cohort brings innovative researchers together to accelerate opportunities to pursue a shared research agenda. In 2022, the cohort developed three research projects determined by participants' shared interests. The research project topics included childhood mental health, trauma, and asthma. CHF continues to monitor and respond to health reform implementation and advocate for health equity and social safety net programs and funding.Public Health Crisis Response - In 2022, the Children's Health Fund's public health crisis response continued to focus on recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic. We supported mobile vaccine outreach and education, testing efforts, and large-scale community vaccination events that delivered 47,429 COVID-19 vaccines.

    Expenses $4,602,461 · Grants $2,123,208

  • Healthy and Ready to Learn - In 2014, the Children's Health Fund launched Healthy and Ready to Learn to address health issues that impact learning in New York City. The programming addresses needs rooted in social, racial, and economic inequities by empowering school staff and families to create trauma-sensitive environments. See Schedule O.In 2022, HRL continued to observe that the interruption in routines due to COVID-19 has made it difficult for families to get back on track with attendance. In response to the school community's needs, the HRL team set about developing a routine workshop for students. HRL also found that schools continued to report teacher and staff burnout and ongoing challenges with school-family collaboration and communication. In response, HRL supported programming to address the mental health of all school community members, including workshops, family newsletters, and school-wide events. All new training and resources are offered on the Resource and Training Center website free of charge.

    Expenses $961,958

  • Public Health Initiatives - Children's Health Fund's Public Health Initiatives (PHI) seek to improve and protect population and community health. We engage local communities and promote patient empowerment to improve health outcomes in under-resourced communities. PHI draws upon data and insights from our national network partner programs to develop interventions focused on prevention, social drivers of health, health equity, and health education. These interventions inform our advocacy work, and we disseminate lessons learned broadly through our online briefings and conferences.See Schedule O.In 2022, the Children's Health Fund hosted three Community Health Equity and Engagement Roundtables (CHEERs) that generated community-driven solutions to local social drivers of health. Through the support of CHF's immunization initiatives, our national network partners administered 47,429 COVID-19 vaccines and 6,717 routine pediatric vaccines.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us.
