We’re on a mission to change lives

UnitedHealthcare Children’s Foundation (UHCCF) is a 501(c)(3) charitable organization that provides medical grants to help children gain access to health-related services not covered, or not fully covered, by their family’s commercial health insurance plan. Applicants don’t have to be members of UnitedHealthcare to apply.

We’re united in helping kids

UHCCF’s mission is made possible by contributions from individuals, corporations, and UnitedHealth Group employees. Since 2005, we’ve been able to award more than 37,000 grants valued at over $75M to children and their families throughout the United States. These grants help enhance children’s clinical conditions and quality of life.

You can help make a difference in a family’s life.
