“Millennials are quite philanthropic relative to their financial capacity and interests—both of which are normally not focused on health care until later in life. An exception may exist for those who have experienced significant pediatric illness for themselves or their children. However, even in this situation, their parents and grandparents are more likely to be in a financial position to make a more impactful gift.”
