Since the organization was created, it has worked on developing strong relationships with public and private companies that provide supplies, pharmaceuticals and other in-kind gifts.

The Abbott Fund, an Illinois-based nonprofit funded by the Abbott health care company, has donated nearly $4 million in products and in-kind donations, and more than $450,000 in cash donations since 1993. The fund’s in-kind donations have included its anesthesia product Sevoflurane and equipment like IV fluids, catheters, and pediatric medical equipment and pharmaceuticals that are used in cleft lip and cleft palate surgery.
