Get Involved / Today's and Tomorrow's Children Fund (TTCF)
Philanthropy Simplified
Today's and Tomorrow's Children Fund (TTCF) was born out of the belief that, by pooling their donations, a group of committed individuals can award a major gift every year to make an important difference in the work of a talented UCLA Pediatrics faculty member whose cutting edge research benefits the boys and girls at Mattel Children's Hospital UCLA.
Our approach is simple: members each commit $5,000 annually, then have the opportunity to vote from a ballot of projects prescreened by the Physician-in-Chief of Mattel Children's Hospital UCLA; each member has an equal vote. Everyone will be invited to the annual faculty presentation day, where the three Pediatrics faculty members receiving the most votes will present their research. Members will then vote again to determine who will be awarded that year's group gift. All gift recipients submit a report to TTCF members that summarizes the impact of the gift in their various areas of research or clinical care so that members can see their dollars in action.
When TTCF reaches its goal of a community of 200 members, the group will be able to award $1 million to support vital projects which will have a profound effect on children at Mattel Children's Hospital UCLA and beyond.
