Improving Maternal & Child Health
Access to Healthcare
Everyone deserves access to quality healthcare. Here’s how we help.
The goal of the Maternal and Child Health initiative is to improve outcomes for moms, infants and families in the first year of life.
Home Visiting Program Support
All families need support systems to ensure health, stability and security. Many families have supports in place, including friends, family and other community supports. However, a large number of families, especially pregnant women and those with infants, do not have necessary supports and can benefit from resources delivered through evidence-based home visiting models. Home visiting provides information, risk assessment, health programming and parenting support interventions as well as important connections to other social services. Voluntary home visiting programs have shown significant returns on investment for infants and families.
The purpose of this funding opportunity is to provide support to evidence-based home visiting programs that serve women and infants in the Foundation’s service area. This is an invite-only opportunity.
