Each year, local March of Dimes chapters award grants to external organizations across the state in order to address unmet maternal and infant health needs. These community grants are one way that the March of Dimes pursues its mission of saving babies by preventing birth defects, premature birth, and infant mortality.

About the Chapter Community Grants Program
The goal of the community awards program is to identify and fund community-based programs addressing the health concerns of pregnant women and infants in Florida.

                                                                                              Community Awards can be made to support activities such as: purchase and distribution of March of Dimes health education materials, implementation of March of Dimes community programs (e.g. Stork's Nest® and Becoming a Mom/Comenzando bien®), or a conference for health professionals.  For health professional conferences, we are particularly interested in topics centering on late preterm birth or preconception health.

Community Awards may not be used to support equipment or furniture, individual tuition or conference fees, dues or membership fees, employee salary or programs requiring long-term March of Dimes funding.

The application process for 2010 is now closed. For information on our 2011 grants cycle, please contact State Program Director Lori Reeves at 407-599-5077, or lreeves@marchofdimes.com.
