Pediatric services unfortunately are not a reliable source of income for health care facilities and so minimal budgets are the norm. As a result, a lot of the small comforts and services that make a big difference in a child and family’s experience, but aren’t vital to patient care, are often omitted. The Friends of Jack Foundation - through our donors - makes it possible for healthcare facilities and social services to have these things and fill that void.   

Since becoming a recognized charity, the Friends of Jack Foundation has raised more than $3.5 million. Every dollar of this total has come from individual donors or small local businesses. Our operating budget each year is between $300,000-$400,000.

The Board of Directors covers all administrative costs, so every penny that is raised goes back to the community from which it came.
