Lauren Zaller Moore joined Children’s Hospital Foundation as President and CEO in March 2019. In that time, she has grown the Foundation team, launched a capital campaign, “Built for Kids. Built by You.” and seen the opening of the Children’s Tower, CHoR’s home for pediatric emergency, trauma and inpatient care. Now she’s leading the launch of a new comprehensive fundraising campaign focused on four pillars: supporting the whole child and family, innovating and educating the next generation of care givers and researchers, expanding current facilities and programs to serve even more children and families and growing unrestricted funding to ensure CHoR is able to meet any future challenges head-on.

Under her leadership, Children’s Hospital Foundation has raised more than $112 million, connecting with more than 7,000 donors a year who are translating their passion for children into gifts for Children’s Hospital of Richmond at VCU.

Lauren came to Children’s Hospital Foundation after seven years serving in roles advancing medical philanthropy at VCU Health. Prior to joining VCU in 2012, Lauren worked as a development officer for University of Minnesota’s Masonic Children’s Hospital and at the University of Tennessee. Lauren’s community connections extend beyond CHF as a board member of the Girl Scouts of the Commonwealth of Virginia and The Estate Planning Council of Richmond, VA; a member of the chief development advisory council for the Children’s Miracle Network and the chair of the Children’s Philanthropy Group.

She lives in Richmond with her husband, two children and mischievous dog. She also remains a loyal–and vocal–fan of the Tennessee Volunteers.
