Operation
The Nick & Kelly Children's Heart Fund is an all-volunteer organization with one paid administrator, making it unique among local charitable groups. We have a long-time relationship with the Arizona Community Foundation which invests and manages the Funds charitable assets.
Here's how it works: Social workers, pediatric cardiologists and other medical personnel refer families to the organization Director. Each case is carefully reviewed and operates within the guidelines established by the advisory board. Family support might include direct financial and emotional assistance, negotiation of medical expenses, participation in educational and recreational opportunities, and/or referral to additional care providers in the community.
