Arkansas Children's Northwest has received a $2 million challenge grant from the J.E. and L.E. Mabee Foundation to support its historic expansion project.
This funding marks the continuation of a 37-year partnership between Arkansas Children's and the Mabee Foundation, with total grants exceeding $8 million over the decades.
"This grant is very exciting for Arkansas Children's, because it means we have met the challenge and have had great momentum from the incredible generosity of our community," said Fred Scarborough, executive vice president and chief development officer at Arkansas Children's. "We are so grateful for Mabee Foundation’s vision as we advance pediatric health care in the region.”
In the 75 years since it began, the Mabee Foundation has awarded more than $1.6 billion in grants to non-profit 501(c)(3) organizations in Arkansas, Kansas, Missouri, New Mexico, Oklahoma, and Texas.
