Helping moms and babies in Massachusetts

The March of Dimes Massachusetts 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 Massachusetts Chapter uses gifts wisely, all letters of intent and grant proposals go through a competitive review process. The chapter community grants program is designed to invest in priority projects that further the March of Dimes mission, support national and state objectives, and further our strategic goal of reducing disparities in birth outcomes. We award grants 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.

All projects should address the following funding priority area:

Initiating a quality improvement program related to premature birth prevention with the goal of catalyzing systems change.
