Boston Children's Hospital

Boston Children's Hospital is a prominent pediatric care facility that extends its mission through strategic investments aimed at enhancing community health and advancing pediatric care. The hospital's Anchor Strategy focuses on making investments that benefit the local community, such as affordable housing, minority-owned businesses, and community health initiatives. These investments are managed by the hospital's Investment Office, which oversees the Endowment, Pension, and short-term investment assets.

The hospital's investment approach is comprehensive, encompassing various asset classes and stages of investment. It includes private equity, venture capital, real estate, infrastructure, and fixed income investments. The geographical focus is primarily on the United States, with a particular emphasis on projects that address health inequities and support the hospital's community mission. Industries targeted for investment include healthcare, real estate, financial services, technology, education, infrastructure, energy, consumer goods, biotechnology, pharmaceuticals, media, telecommunications, transportation, retail, and hospitality.

In recent years, Boston Children's Hospital has made significant investments to support its mission. Notably, in 2024, the hospital allocated $1 million through its Collaboration for Community Health to support affordable housing and minority-owned businesses. Additionally, the hospital plans to build a 116-bed psychiatric hospital in Brighton, Massachusetts, with a $100 million donation from philanthropists Rob and Karen Hale, marking the largest gift in the hospital's history. This expansion aims to nearly double the hospital's inpatient psychiatric capacity and address the rising demand for pediatric mental health services.

The hospital's investment philosophy emphasizes a long-term approach, aiming to generate both financial returns and social impact. By strategically investing in projects that align with its mission, Boston Children's Hospital seeks to create lasting improvements in community health and advance pediatric care worldwide.
