Why give to the Children of Bellevue?
When you make a tax-deductible gift to the Children of Bellevue (CoB), you are supporting the oldest public hospital still in operation in the U.S. For nearly 70 years, Children of Bellevue has helped make Bellevue Hospital a second home for the 25,000 children — and their parents, siblings, and families — whom we serve every year. Our child-centric and family-oriented programs improve the health, development, and well-being of our pediatric patients.

How can I donate in-kind?
We welcome in-kind donations that are specifically requested by our programs! As a nonprofit benefiting a hospital, there are certain items we unfortunately cannot accept and distribute to the children. You can review our list of In-Kind Items Needed and either:

1. Order items directly from the website and have them shipped to us at Children of Bellevue, Attn: Zola, 462 1st Ave, ME-15, New York, NY 10016. Make sure you add a note with your name and email address or mailing address so that we can give you a tax-deductible receipt!
2. Purchase the items on your own and mail them to us at Children of Bellevue, Attn: Zola, 462 1st Ave, ME-15, New York, NY 10016. Make sure you include your name and email address or mailing address so that we can provide a tax-deductible letter.
3. Run a donation collection campaign for these specific items, for example, at your child’s school or your place of work, and bring the items to Bellevue for an in-person presentation to our program.

How can I receive my tax-deductible letters by email?
