| The Washington State Chapter invites you to participate in our 2007 Community Awards 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 the state of Washington.
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 Comenzando bien®), or a conference for health professionals. To view our product catalog, visit the March of Dimes Web site at http://www.marchofdimes.com/.
Please Note: 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.
Available Funding and Eligibility
Awards may be granted up to $3,000. The applicant must provide services in Washington State. For larger scale projects, visit our website to learn more about how to apply for a chapter community grant.
In order to be eligible to receive a March of Dimes community award, an organization must be an incorporated not-for-profit (501c3) or for profit organization or government agency.
