Kosair for Kids: Who we are

Kosair for Kids enhances the health and well-being of children by delivering ﬁnancial support for:

HEALTHCARE - RESEARCH - EDUCATION - SOCIAL SERVICES - CHILD ADVOCACY

Since 1923, Kosair for Kids has helped children reach their potential while overcoming their obstacles. Opening as a hospital for children who had long-term medical needs, Kosair for Kids evolved into a grant-providing organization to better support the changing needs of children in Kentucky and Southern Indiana in the 1980s.

Today, Kosair for Kids enhances the lives of all children in need through organizational grants, direct ﬁnancial assistance, the Face It Movement, and one-of-a-kind experiences.
