What Childrens Miracle Network does
Mission
Children's miracle network brings people together to raise money for children's healthcare in local communities.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Programs
Funds raised through children's miracle network's campaigns and programs are unusual for two key reasons: 1. Funds stay in the community where they are donated; and 2. Hospitals assess their current and future needs to determine the best allocation of funds. Funds are most commonly used for advancement services, charitable care, education, equipment, patient services and research. Children's miracle network's donation structure provides contributors with the assurance that their donations help kids in the local community for the most pressing needs. In 2025, the combined efforts of children's miracle network and its partners raised more than $473 million to help kids who receive care at member hospitals. Children's miracle network's donations are distributed as discretionary funds to each hospital, allowing them to address the most critical children's healthcare needs in their respective communities. Each year, the 170 member hospitals of children's miracle network provide medical care to more than 10 million children through more than 32 million patient visits, providing the vast majority of highly specialized care for children with complex and rare conditions, in addition to…

National public awareness is generated through radio, online, social media and television programming, often focusing on the stories of children and their families who have serious illness or injuries and were cared for at a local children's hospital. Key children's miracle network public education and awareness campaigns in 2025 include: - children's miracle network social media; - children's miracle network radiothons; - children's miracle network national and local champions program, where one child from each hospital is selected to serve as an ambassador, representing their hospital and sharing the important work of children's hospitals children helped in 2025 more than 12 million kids are treated at member children's hospitals every year.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2017, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2017, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2018 to 2019, from $116M to $134M (+15%).
How it's funded, over time
Each bar is one year's revenue split into where it came from, and every bar is the same height — these are shares, not amounts, so a year that raised twice as much looks the same size. Hover a bar for the split.
Government-grant reliance: 2021 5%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
23% of CHILDRENS MIRACLE NETWORK’s revenue is contributions — about as donation-reliant as the typical peer (25% for the typical peer).

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 139 funders to 171 funders, grant income rose $4.5M → $27M.
46 of 596 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 14% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.
From the IRS filings of CHILDRENS MIRACLE NETWORK’s funders (the co-funder graph). Top 30 of 596 funders by total. Association, not causation. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
How concentrated its funding is
CHILDRENS MIRACLE NETWORK leans on a few funders — its largest provides 57% of grant income and the top three 69%; half comes from just 1 funder.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
39% of the income these shares are computed over arrives through pass-through sponsors or from payers whose filings do not say what kind of payment it is. Concentration is still measured over all of it, because the money is real; what it does not support is a claim about how many institutions have chosen to fund CHILDRENS MIRACLE NETWORK.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 16% · 2018 21% · 2019 20% · 2020 75% · 2021 68% · 2022 74% · 2023 64% — growing more concentrated.
“Effective funders” = inverse Herfindahl index (1 / Σ shareᵢ²) — the number of equal-sized funders that would give the same concentration. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
How long its funders stay
29% of CHILDRENS MIRACLE NETWORK's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 45% give in more than one year at all.
Share of funders still giving k years after their first recorded grant, pooled across every acquisition cohort. A funder counts as retained in a year only if it made a grant that year. Measured to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving — a funder cannot be counted as lapsed in a year most filers have not reached.
Where its funders are
CHILDRENS MIRACLE NETWORK draws 100% of its grant income from funders outside Utah, across 45 states in all.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $19M arriving through sponsors registered in 23 states is excluded from the map and the split above: a sponsor holds money on a donor’s behalf, so its registered address would place those dollars somewhere no donor need ever have been. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
