A Moment of Magic Foundation is a national nonprofit that integrates imaginative play with mental health support for children facing illness and adversity. Its approach aims to help young patients reclaim a sense of childhood despite treatment, trauma, or extended hospital stays. The programs are described as healing-centered, dignity-driven, and evidence-informed, aiming to reduce isolation, improve psychosocial outcomes, and support families navigating challenging moments. Based in New York, the organization serves the United States and Canada through hospital partnerships, school collaborations, and a network of more than 25 collegiate chapters established since 2014. Its offerings include character visits to hospitals and care centers, social-emotional learning workshops, mental health resources for families and clinicians, and trauma-informed training for volunteers and partners.
