Make a difference in the life of a baby in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU)
We’ve helped over 24,000 preemie babies and their families.
The Little Giraffe Foundation is a national 501(c)(3) non-profit based in Chicago, dedicated to supporting parents and patients of the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). Since 2011, the foundation has delivered nearly 24,000 gift bags to an array of neonatal intensive care units (NICUs), awarded over 100 support grants to dozens of hospitals across the country, and funded over $250,000 in medical research.
We help the parents and patients of the NICU.
Gifts like toys and books not only give children joy when they grow up, but also help parents connect with their children when they are unable to hold them.
Together, we fund neonatal medical research.
Our goal is funding neonatal medical research focused on neonatal development within a NICU environment.
Offer a helping hand to preemie babies and their families.
