Get involved

The work of the March of Dimes Maryland–National Capital Area Chapter is made possible by our many volunteers, donors and supporters. Thank you for giving your time and money, and lending your voice to support the health of babies.

Donate locally

If you are a long-time March of Dimes supporter or giving for the first time, we could not work to save babies without the generosity and commitment of people like you. Your donation supports programs in your community that help moms have healthy pregnancies and babies begin healthy lives. And it provides comfort to families with a sick or premature baby.

Volunteer

Our work is made possible by thousands of volunteers. There are many ways to assist us in helping babies, moms and families close to home. You can take part in selling sponsorship opportunities, recruiting new volunteers, coordinating outreach to mission families, serving on our Public Affairs Committee, assisting with marketing communications or public relations efforts and much more. Tell us a little about yourself and we’ll find opportunities to help you get involved.

We are currently accepting applications for a Local Ambassador Family in Central Maryland. The Local Ambassador is a child who was helped by the March of Dimes and therefore plays a vital role in promoting local March for Babies walks and the Foundation’s mission. Read more about this opportunitiy here.

Advocate

The March of Dimes speaks out for laws and legislation that improve care for women and children in Maryland, the National Capital Area and across the country. Our team of grassroots volunteers and staff promote the mission agenda by contacting governors and legislators in response to Maryland, Virginia and Washington D.C. action alerts. Whether promoting increased health care coverage and prevention measures or supporting research and public policy studies, learn how you can make a difference.
