About CiDrep SickKids Foundation

CiDrep SickKids Foundation is a public 501(c)(3) charitable organization that supports sick children in the United States in two complementary ways: by funding direct care for families when insurance and other resources are exhausted, and by conducting equity-first computational research to help every child receive earlier, fairer care. FAMILY SUPPORT We provide funds to families of sick children when insurance and other financial resources have been exhausted or are unavailable, covering surgery, therapy, medication, equipment, housing, and travel for care. Donate today RESEARCH We conduct equity-first computational research in pediatric epilepsy. Our flagship program - Pediatric Epilepsy - integrates electronic health record, neuroimaging, genomic, and geo-coded social-determinants-of-health data to develop fair, interpretable machine-learning tools for the children who need them most. OUR MISSION The CiDrep SickKids Foundation funds sick kids when insurance and other financial resources have been exhausted or unavailable, and conducts pediatric health research to expand the evidence base for safer, more equitable care. MISSION-CRITICAL CAUSE We are impacting children's health by bridging the gaps in health care through reactive and preventative programs and initiatives — funding the care and well-being of sick children needing surgery, therapy, medication, equipment, housing, and travel for care, while building research tools that help clinicians identify and support children at the highest risk earlier in their care journey. VISION STATEMENT Every child receives cost-free care, gets well, and feels comfortable during difficult times - supported by health systems and tools designed to serve every child equitably, regardless of geography, race, or family income
