The Emerging Philanthropists Council at Cincinnati Children’s offers an exciting platform to those interested in learning more about philanthropic board service and how they can help us foster brighter and healthier lives for children across the world. 

As a member of this associate board of the medical center, you’ll connect with an elite group of leaders in supporting the medical center’s most pressing funding priorities. You’ll also get behind-the-scenes access to learn more about Cincinnati Children’s groundbreaking research and innovative care—making us the No. 1 pediatric hospital in the nation according to U.S. News & World Report.

Beginning with a commitment of $1,500, new council members build strong ties with other members of our community who have a passion for making an impact on child health—here in Cincinnati, across the country and around the globe.
