We’re Fighting for Kids
It’s our job to fight for kids. It’s our job to ensure they have the best possible future.
We believe investing in children’s health is the best way to do that.
When You Give, Kids Win
Your gift allows every child access to best-in-class pediatric health care today and funds the development of new treatments for tomorrow.
That means more kids overcome cancer.
More kids born with heart defects grow up to be strong.
More kids head back to the playground after an accident.
More kids suffering from depression get the help they need.
We are committed to improving children’s health through funding:
To inspire people to invest in pediatric research, care, and programs that support the physical and mental health of kids.
To ensure all children have equitable access to exceptional healthcare so they may reach their optimal health and quality of life.
We aspire to model inclusion and treat everyone with dignity and respect.
We strive to grow through thoughtful risk-taking that leads to innovation.
We trust one another to act in the best interests of Riley Children's Foundation, our donors, and the children and families we serve.
Riley Children’s Foundation values the diversity of the children and communities we serve, and we believe our organization must reflect and respect these communities. We strive to create a culture of learning and inclusion that recognizes the inherent dignity of all individuals. This strengthens our team and our ability to connect with the communities we interact with and serve.
As part of our commitment to diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility, we are evaluating our systems, practices, and assumptions. We intentionally support a diverse network of leaders, donors, suppliers, employees, patients, and their families.
We will do this by:
- Creating an inclusive, equitable, and accessible workplace consistent with the values set forth in our Strategic Plan.
- Funding evidence-based and evidence-informed programs through our partners that promote the physical and mental health of all children.
- Growing our Riley Children’s Foundation community by enhancing outreach to and creating a welcoming environment for individuals and organizations from all backgrounds who wish to support our strategic vision to ensure all children have equitable access to exceptional healthcare so they may reach their optimal health and quality of life.
We acknowledge that a commitment to DEIA is an ongoing process, and we will continue making this a priority consistent with the DEIA Strategic Initiative approved and set forth in our Strategic Plan.
The James Whitcomb Riley Museum Home & Visitor Center
In addition to our ongoing support of Riley Children’s Health and Riley-affiliated research, Riley Children’s Foundation continues to perpetuate the legacy of our namesake, the late Hoosier poet James Whitcomb Riley, through our ownership of the James Whitcomb Riley Museum Home & Visitors Center. Built in 1872, Mr. Riley moved into the home in the Lockerbie neighborhood of downtown Indianapolis during the peak of his career and remained there until his death.
