The March of Dimes Georgia Chapter funds programs that help moms have full-term pregnancies and healthy babies. This includes providing financial support to research and education that will help moms before and during their pregnancies. It also includes working with local medical groups and organizations to improve prenatal care and newborn screening.
The March of Dimes Georgia Chapter uses gifts wisely. We award grants and awards based on a number of criteria, including the group or organization’s ability to accomplish its goals, as well as the potential impact a project will have in helping us prevent premature births, birth defects and infant mortality.
Grants and awards are given to projects that address the urgent needs of moms and babies. Grants are generally awarded for one to three years and range from $10,000 to $25,000. Community awards are for smaller projects for one year, less than $3,000. Learn more about how to apply for grant and award funding on our Q&A page.
Grant funding for 2013 is now closed. Check our Q&A page to learn more about what we will be funding this year.
