March of Dimes

Description

We imagine a world in which every baby has the opportunity to thrive, live the future they choose, and grow up to change the world.

The March of Dimes works to improve the health of all babies by preventing premature birth, birth defects and infant mortality. We work towards this goal through programs of research, education, advocacy and community grants. We fund programs to find reasons why babies are born too soon, to improve birth outcomes for those born too soon or too ill, and those with birth defects. We advocate for better health care for infant and maternal health, fund local community grants to provide better and better access to prenatal care. We provide education to doctors and nurses to make sure they have the most up-to-date information on infant and maternal health care. The March of Dimes is all about babies.
