Riley Children’s Hospital

End-of-Year Giving

Project Description

Riley Hospital for Children is home to the state’s largest pediatric research program, where physician-scientists move their discoveries as quickly as possible to the bedsides of children. When they partnered with Charity Dynamics they launched a deeper level of segmentation into specific donors, events and employee groups for better personalization.
