Childrens Miracle Network Hospitals

E-commerce retailers The Brick and Finer & Dandy have partnered with Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals® (CMN Hospitals) to empower customers to donate to their local children’s hospitals with every online purchase.

CMN Hospitals’ in-store partners have been raising funds for hospitals across North America through point-of-sale engagement since 1983. The Brick and Finer & Dandy have now joined Kendra Scott as the first to bring the charitable checkout experience to online shoppers with CMN Hospitals’ new e-commerce Giving Plugin. Skincare company Bee Great and specialty athletic retailer Potomac Running Club are expected to join the network of partners in the coming months.

“The Brick has a long and strong history of giving and making a difference in our communities, particularly supporting the health and well-being of children,” said Dave Freeman, President, The Brick. “Customers visiting our stores have the opportunity to witness first-hand our partnership with Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals and our commitment to children’s health. CMN Hospitals’ Giving Plugin allows us to provide this same experience to our online customers.”

Powered by GiveWorx, the CMN Hospitals Giving Plugin operates through API integration with any e-commerce website. After a customer completes a purchase, a window appears asking if they would like to donate to their local children’s hospital, the name of which populates dynamically based on the customer’s IP address. The customer then selects their desired contribution amount, the Giving Plugin charges the donation to the payment method that was used to make the initial purchase and the full contribution amount is securely routed directly to the recipient hospital. The Plugin can be installed and ready for use in less than two weeks and donations are entirely customer-funded, requiring no financial investment or accounting from the merchant. 

“Upon learning that most of CMN Hospitals’ funds are raised just $1 at a time, I was confident that even a small shop like mine could make a big impact,” said Courtney White, CEO and Founder, Finer & Dandy. “Children-first values really resonate with our community of customers. We've had inspiring success with donation events in the past and we look forward to using the Giving Plugin to build on that, personalizing the giving experience even more while underscoring the values we share with our customers.” 

Children’s Miracle Network member hospitals treat more than 10 million children every year. Donations raised through CMN Hospitals’ corporate partners provide critical funding for medical equipment, patient education, life-saving research and charity care for sick and injured children when insurance and Medicaid fall short.

“Consumers are increasingly expecting that the companies they do business with demonstrate care and consciousness for the communities they share,” said John Lauck, CEO, CMN Hospitals. “Providing a simple, secure way for customers to support children’s health in their hometowns when they shop online helps forge meaningful customer connections while driving loyalty.”
