Carolina for the Kids Foundation
CFTK's mission is “to unite the University, community, and state in fostering emotional and financial support that improves the quality of life for the patients and families of N.C. Children’s Hospital.”

Carolina for the Kids, a student led organization of UNC Chapel Hill, has raised an incredible 5.1 million dollars since 1999 with a mission “to unite the University, community, and state in fostering emotional and financial support that improves the quality of life for the patients and families of N.C. Children’s Hospital.”

A longtime partner of the House, CFTK has donated more than $314,000 since 2012 to support families staying at RMHCH. In 2022, CFTK granted the House a $10,000 grant to fund both a weekly meal in our Family Room for pediatric caregivers and to keep our pantry stocked at the House so that families have access to food 24 hours a day.

In addition to critical funding to serve families, CFTK students can often be found volunteering to cook meals at the House and at special fundraising events. A huge thanks to the thousands of students who participate in CFTK’s efforts that make this partnership possible!
