Innovation Circle | Phoenix Children's

An Investment That Makes an Impact

What is Innovation Circle?

Innovation Circle is a giving group whose members jointly invest in innovative, high-impact projects that have the potential to transform pediatric medicine, allowing Phoenix Children’s best and brightest minds to turn their visionary ideas into reality.

How does it work?

Each year, Innovation Circle members’ gifts are pooled to form a grant fund to support the work of physicians, researchers and clinical leaders across Phoenix Children’s. Proposed projects are vetted by Phoenix Children’s leadership and then presented to members, who vote on which projects to fund.

Investment in Innovation Circle also comes with exclusive benefits, including:

Opportunities to attend Power Pitch events to hear and vote on project pitches
Special behind-the-scenes experiences with physicians, researchers and patients
Invitation to the annual Innovation Circle showcase luncheon

“Having three young children, we have learned nothing is worse than seeing your child in pain or unwell. We feel particularly drawn to supporting Innovation Circle to help ensure that every child has access to the best medical care available. We love being part of a group of committed donors who have come together to support promising projects that can truly change pediatrics.”
