01What it does

What Elizabeth Seton Pediatric Center does

Mission

We are the largest and most proficient non-profit health center for children with medical complexity in the us offering inpatient medical, educational and rehabilitative services. Our loving culture creates possibilities for 169 children to lead a full and happy life.

As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.

Program

  1. Founded by the sisters of charity in 1987, the elizabeth seton children's center is a national leader in caring for children with medical complexity. We provide a full continuum of care that includes medical care, rehabilitation, therapeutic activities, special education and a true sense of home at the largest center of its kind. The children we serve live with the most challenging medical conditions on earth. Virtually all are unable to walk and many require feeding tubes, ventilators and devices to communicate. Our average length of stay is six years, but most children live their entire lives at the center or are discharged at age 21. Today young adults are aging out of our care at higher rates than ever, but many face inadequate options once they leave. To solve this crisis, it is our intention to build the first home of its kind for young adults with medical complexity and become the national model. In 2024, the center provided 61,530 days of care to 180 children and our year to date occupancy rate was 99.5% of our 169 beds.

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.

03Who funds it

Who funds it, year by year

2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 9 funders to 20 funders, grant income rose $161k → $367k.

8 of 47 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 9% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.

Left out of every figure on this page: $500k from one payer (the payer shares this organization's board, largest St Elizabeth Seton Children's Foundation Ltd). These are real filings, and they are not money ELIZABETH SETON PEDIATRIC CENTER raised.

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.

New York out of state home

Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $573k arriving through sponsors registered in 6 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.
