Helping Kids, Changing Lives

Our mission at UnitedHealthcare Children’s Foundation is to provide medical grants that enhance the quality of life for children across the United States. These grants give kids the care they need by helping with medical expenses not covered, or not fully covered, by their family’s commercial health insurance.

**We are experiencing a very high volume of Applications and Payment Requests. There will be a delay in processing them. We appreciate your patience.

Granting hope for families

UnitedHealthcare Children’s Foundation (UHCCF) grants allow families to focus on what really matters: their child’s well-being. That’s why we strive to award 3,500+ grants each year to families across the United States.

Donations from individuals, corporations, and fundraising events make it possible for more kids to live happier, healthier lives.

40,000 grants have been awarded since 2005.

$80M in grants have been awarded to families.

50,000 grant awards are anticipated by 2030.

“Naomi isn’t able to ride a two-wheel bike because of balance issues. It was electrifying hearing we received a grant to fund a three-wheel trike for her. It made her dreams possible.”

A family of four with a mom, dad, and two little girls stands together, smiling at the camera. The mom, Jill, has her hand on the little girl Maci’s arm. Maci is wearing glasses and standing closest to the camera.

“The doctors told us Maci needed 4-5 therapies a week if we wanted the best outcome, but our insurance had a hard cap on the amount they’d allow each year. UHCCF enabled us to get her the amount of therapy she needed.”
