The mission of the Montana Children’s Foundation is to generate resources to support Shodair Children’s Hospital, a national leader in the field of childhood and adolescent psychiatry and medical genetics, in its quest to provide excellent patient care, innovative treatment models, and support the education of healthcare professionals.

The Montana Children’s Foundation (MCF) serves as the donors' hands—reaching out to patients, physicians and the community to provide resources for the hospital that would not be available otherwise. The hospital, Montana’s only dedicated children’s hospital, was also one of the first members of the Children’s Miracle Network, the alliance of premier hospitals for children.
The Foundation is registered in Montana as a 501(c) (3) public charity responsible for raising philanthropic contributions needed to support the mission of the hospital.
