St. Louis Children’s Hospital

Children’s Legacy Advisors are professionals with expertise in estate and tax planning, investment management and financial planning who share St. Louis Children’s Hospital’s commitment to advancing philanthropy. Many people are unaware of tax-exempt planning strategies that can help them leave a charitable legacy, reduce taxes and maximize benefits from their assets. By educating the public on tax-wise and values based planning, Children’s Legacy Advisors hope to inspire a new generation of philanthropists who are able to address their needs for financial security and family legacy while investing in programs that enhance the health and well-being of children.

Help Change a Child’s Future
St. Louis Children’s Hospital is a beacon of hope, a place where children and families come for the very best in pediatric health care. Since the hospital’s founding in 1879, city leaders and ordinary individuals have cared for children by providing charitable support, effectively partnering with our doctors, nurses and board members to create one of the finest pediatric hospitals in America.

Philanthropy provides a catalyst for exceptional care and research. It defends the right of children to receive comprehensive and quality care when support from private insurance and government is inadequate. By providing resources for research, it extends the horizon of hope to children and families. By funding services and facilities that otherwise would not be affordable, philanthropy addresses the unique needs of our patients and their families. Philanthropy provides that extra measure of support that allows St. Louis Children’s Hospital to be named time and time again one of the top pediatric hospitals in the entire country. Thus, you can be assured that area children are receiving the very best medical care available.
