At the Charles H. Hood Foundation, we are committed to transforming the lives of children by funding pioneering research and accelerating innovations in pediatric healthcare.
Founded in 1942, our legacy began in New England—but our impact is global. We fund early-stage investigators and breakthrough solutions that improve child health and well-being around the world. By focusing on the critical early phases of research and development, we serve as a catalyst for discovery—springboarding the next generation of pediatric thought leaders, technologies, and treatments.
We support high-risk, high-reward work that might otherwise go unfunded—helping bridge the gap between bold ideas and real-world impact. Each of our programs is designed to propel scientific progress, foster collaboration, and bring life-changing innovations to children and families faster.
Our three core initiatives include:
Child Health Research Grants – Supporting early-career investigators with promising, hypothesis-driven pediatric research in basic, clinical, and public health disciplines.
CH Innovations (Program-Related Investments) – Investing seed-stage capital in for-profit startups developing pediatric diagnostics, devices, therapeutics, and health technologies.
Hood Pediatric Innovation Hub at MIT – A new collaboration with MIT HEALS, advancing interdisciplinary solutions to the most pressing unmet needs in pediatric medicine.
Together, we are building a pipeline of discovery—investing in people, ideas, and innovation that will shape the future of pediatric health.
