Local Impact

Every dollar donated across the Fargo region is making a difference for local patients, families and employees. In 2022, we put $4 million in philanthropic gifts to work across the Fargo region. See the impact below and keep scrolling for opportunities to do more good, close to home, in the year ahead.

Give for Children

Every day, a local child’s life is changed forever by an injury or unexpected diagnosis.  Thanks to supporters like you, a world of hope and healing can be found at Sanford Children’s Hospital in Fargo, home to the state’s only Level II pediatric trauma unit and the region’s most comprehensive NICU and PICU. Your gift for the Fargo Sanford Children’s Fund will stay local to help support:

• Services like Child Life, school tutoring and music therapy to help kids and their families cope with the challenges of illness and injury
• Specialized pediatric equipment like ultrasound machines and ventilators
• Research to accelerate more effective treatments and care
• Toys, games, books and cozy furniture in Cully’s Cabin
• Community services like Safe Kids Fargo-Moorhead, which offers car seat checks, workshops and other resources to keep kids safe, and more

Sanford Children’s is also proud to be North Dakota’s only Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals partner. Look for the signature balloon icons while you’re shopping or dining out. Many of your favorite stores and restaurants host campaigns and events throughout the year that benefit our patients.
