Dell Children’s Trust Votes to Grant $50,000 to Dell Children’s Programs
Marty McCartt, Dell Children's Trust
member, with Anita and Dr. Sujit Iyer
The Dell Children’s Trust received 22 grant applications this year. On April 28th, Dell Children’s Trust members met over dinner to hear presentations from the nine program finalists up for voting as chosen by the group’s Grants Committee. After watching the videos and participating in Q&A sessions with each program representative, members voted at the close of the program, to determine which of the 9 options would receive funding.

This year’s funding options ranged from high chairs and play mats to advanced medical equipment and many members fought to contain their emotions as Dell Children’s program staff explained the reasons for the requests. View vignettes on each of the incredible program finalists.

  • Bereavement Care: Annual Memorial Service
  • Emergency Department: Critical Monitoring Unit
  • Neonatal Intensive Care Unit: NIRS Monitor
