The SUDC Foundation

The SUDC Foundation is the only organization worldwide whose purpose is to raise awareness, fund research, and serve those affected by Sudden Unexplained Death in Childhood (SUDC).

The Foundation serves over 1900 families throughout 27 countries including 68 families from Minnesota.

We are excited to launch our 2nd annual "Give to the Max" campaign for the SUDC Foundation. Sudden Unexplained Death in Childhood is the 4th leading category of death in children ages 1-4, yet SUDC receives no public funding.  It is only through the generosity of private donations that the SUDC Foundation is able to provide all services at no cost to families.  

Your donation today will have an immediate impact on our mission, allowing us to help families manage their incomprehensible grief, and walk alongside them as they navigate the surreal, confusing, and overwhelming experience of sudden unexplained death in childhood.

Matching gifts can double or even triple a donation you make! If your workplace has a matching gift program please notify the SUDC Foundation at donations@sudc.org and we will confirm the gift for your employer. 

Please take a moment to watch the video below from our 2024 SUDC Community Retreat. The SUDC community came together for a weekend dedicated to renewing, restoring, reconnecting, and remembering the children gone too soon.

Please help us walk alongside a bereaved family this holiday season by making a donation today.
