We couldn’t have done it without you!

In 2023, we continued our work to help end the maternal and infant health crisis in the US. The NICU Family Support Program® served more than 50,000 families in over 70 sites and added five e-learning courses. Additionally, we provided over 4,000 medical visits through our March of Dimes Mom & Baby Mobile Health Centers®, including quality prenatal and postpartum care in five communities where there’s a lack of maternity care. We also launched our first ever research based podcast!  Read about our 2023 accomplishments and more here >>

Did you know that a prenatal care team can also include a doula?

We recently hosted a powerful It Starts With Mom Live conversation about doulas. Moderated by Good Morning America Weekend’s Janai Norman with March of Dimes President and CEO Dr. Elizabeth Cherot and doulas Sanyika Williams and Kayla Natalie, the panelists shared important information about the benefits doulas provide and how their care and support during and after pregnancy can make a big difference for moms and moms-to-be.

It Starts With Mom is sponsored by Clearblue, Philips Advent, Sanofi, and Goldbug. March of Dimes' work to expand doula access and awareness has been provided in part by CVS Health Foundation.

Check out our recent It Starts With Mom Live recording, covering the Top Five Things You Need to Know About Doulas. >>

A Donor-Advised Fund (DAF) is like a charitable investment account for the sole purpose of supporting the charitable organizations you care about. You establish a DAF by contributing cash, stock, or other non-cash assets to a DAF sponsor and choosing which charity to support. Your donation could potentially even grow—and you can choose to support organizations at a pace that’s right for you. Learn how to make a difference with a DAF today. >>
