What Unitedhealthcare Children's Foundation does
Mission
The mission of Unitedhealthcare Children's Foundation is to provide medical grants to enhance the quality of life for children across the united states.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Program
Medical grants program: in 2025 we awarded 4,146 grants valued at $7,045,781. Grants are for children 16 yrs and younger and limited to $5,000 annual and $10,000 lifetime. Our grants are open for a minimum of 12 months, during which time we will directly pay for goods and services, as approved by our regional committees, directly related to the child's medical condition. Our goal is to help families bridge the gap between what is covered by their commercial health insurance and the families share of these costs. This includes items such as medical co-pays, deductibles, durable medical equipment, prescriptions and other non-plan covered expenses.

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 2021 to 2022, from $12M to $14M (+16%).
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.
97% of UNITEDHEALTHCARE CHILDREN'S FOUNDATION’s revenue is contributions — more donation-reliant than the typical peer (81% for the typical peer).

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 5 funders to 17 funders, grant income rose $26k → $3.1M.
11 of 42 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 93% 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 UNITEDHEALTHCARE CHILDREN'S FOUNDATION’s funders (the co-funder graph). Top 30 of 42 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
UNITEDHEALTHCARE CHILDREN'S FOUNDATION leans on a few funders — its largest provides 89% of grant income and the top three 94%; half comes from just 1 funder.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
95% 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 UNITEDHEALTHCARE CHILDREN'S FOUNDATION.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 35% · 2018 59% · 2019 32% · 2020 95% · 2021 91% · 2022 89% · 2023 86% — 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
43% of UNITEDHEALTHCARE CHILDREN'S FOUNDATION's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 52% 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
93% of UNITEDHEALTHCARE CHILDREN'S FOUNDATION's grant income arrives through donor-advised or pass-through sponsors, whose addresses record where the money is held rather than where the donor is. Of the $1.2M that is directly attributable, 70% of it comes from Minnesota funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $18M arriving through sponsors registered in 11 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.
Against its field
UNITEDHEALTHCARE CHILDREN'S FOUNDATION holds deeper cash reserves than three-quarters of the 7,349 human services nonprofits its size.
