Education - 4 cents
Education is key to improving the health of moms and babies. March of Dimes supports families and healthcare professionals with resources, tools, and information for every stage of pregnancy. Our consumer education provides materials to help families make informed decisions about pregnancy, childbirth, and infant care. Through online and live educational courses, we trained more than 25,000 healthcare providers to drive a culture of change in the delivery of family care, reduce maternal and infant mortality and morbidity, and close the health equity gap.
Research and advocacy - 20 cents
We know that pregnancy is complex. To stay current on the latest research breakthroughs, we invest $5.4M across 19 awards, including $4.5M to our five Prematurity Research Centers. Our Innovation Fund, a venture philanthropy initiative, invested in two new companies to improve maternal and infant outcomes. Aggregating data from various government organizations, PeriStats provides free access to the most current maternal and infant health statistics. Advocacy is vital to March of Dimes to advance our mission through public policies, programs, and funding.
Community engagement - 56 cents
From providing access to quality healthcare to mobilizing our community to create lasting change for moms and babies, we're ensuring families can get the best possible start.
