• ANNUAL FUNDING FOR CHP: CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL OF PITTSBURGH FOUNDATION (FOUNDATION) IS THE SOLE FUNDRAISING ARM OF UPMC CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL OF PITTSBURGH. THROUGH TARGETED CAMPAIGNS, SPECIAL EVENTS, AND GRANTS, THE FOUNDATION RAISES MONEY TO SUPPORT THE HOSPITAL'S MISSION OF EXCELLENCE IN PATIENT CARE, TEACHING, AND RESEARCH. CHILDREN'S HAS BEEN A CHARITABLE INSTITUTION SINCE ITS INCEPTION AND REMAINS A NON-PROFIT ENTITY. TO ENSURE THE CONTINUATION OF ITS CHARITABLE MISSION, IN JULY 2000, THE FOUNDATION WAS ESTABLISHED AS A SUBSIDIARY OF CHILDREN'S. IT THEN BECAME AN INDEPENDENT ORGANIZATION WHEN THE HOSPITAL MERGED WITH UPMC IN OCTOBER 2001. THROUGH THE FOUNDATION, GENEROUS DONATIONS LARGE AND SMALL FROM INDIVIDUALS, CORPORATIONS, FOUNDATIONS, AND COMMUNITY PARTNERS HAVE A DIRECT AND IMMEDIATE IMPACT ON CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL'S ABILITY TO TRANSFORM YOUNG LIVES THROUGH UNPARALLELED CARE AND DEEP COMPASSION. ROOTED IN PHILANTHROPY, CHILDREN'S IS SUSTAINED BY GENEROUS COMMUNITY SUPPORT, SETTING THE STANDARDS OF EXCELLENCE IN PEDIATRIC CARE. IN FY 2019, THE FOUNDATION SENT MORE THAN $21 MILLION IN CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE HOSPITAL IN SUPPORT OF RESEARCH, CLINICAL PROGRAMS, MEDICAL EDUCATION AND FUNDS FOR FREE CARE.FOR MORE THAN 125 YEARS, CHILDREN'S HAS BEEN A FIXTURE IN PITTSBURGH AND THE SURROUNDING TRI-STATE REGION.

Officers and directors · 2024

As listed in Part VII of the 2024 return, in the order the filer printed them. Each return names its own; this is not a roster the organization keeps with us.

The first 25 listed. 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. Earlier years are each on their own filing page.
