Allied Solutions is strengthening its partnership with Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals (CMN Hospitals) through Credit Unions for Kids (CU4Kids) with the Allied for Good: CU4Kids Grant. The grant is designed to boost local credit union fundraising initiatives. In 2026, Allied Solutions will provide $60,000 in event sponsorships to credit unions hosting CU4Kids events across the country.
“The credit union philosophy of ‘people helping people’ is the heartbeat of our partnership with Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals,” said Kristen Schavemaker, Chief Programs Officer at Children’s Miracle Network. “The Allied For Good: CU4Kids Grant is designed to empower credit unions in their local fundraising, ensuring children and families receive the critical resources and care they deserve.”
This initiative builds on Allied Solutions’ long-standing commitment to CU4Kids. In addition to contributing more than $125,000 annually to CU4Kids events in communities nationwide, Allied Solutions is now focusing on expanding support to local, grassroots fundraising efforts.
“Community is one of our corporate values, and we strive to make an impact in all the communities where we do business,” said Pete Hilger, CEO at Allied Solutions. “Through this grant, we aim to amplify the impactful work of the CU4Kids program.”
Eligible credit unions can apply for up to $5,000 in sponsorship funding to support their 2026 CU4Kids fundraising events. Applications will be accepted beginning December 1, 2025, through February 1, 2026. Apply here.
This expanded partnership reflects a shared commitment to empowering credit unions, advancing pediatric healthcare, and helping ensure children in local communities receive the critical support they need.
About Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals
Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals was founded more than 40 years ago with the vision to Change Kids’ Health, Change the Future. We’ve raised over $9 billion for 170 children’s hospitals by empowering and engaging with local communities and businesses – and we’re not done yet. All donations benefit local member hospitals to fund what’s needed most, like critical life-saving treatments and healthcare services, innovative research, vital pediatric medical equipment, child life services that put kids’ and families’ minds at ease during difficult hospital stays, and financial assistance for families who could not otherwise afford these health services.
Together, we can change kids’ health. Together, we can change the future. To learn about Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals and your local member children’s hospital, visit cmnhospitals.org.
