Help moms and babies get the care they need now and in the future
ABOUT THE FUND
As the public grapples with the effects of COVID-19, the new coronavirus disease, we are concerned about pregnant women and babies who may be at a greater risk of becoming sick and not receiving the care they need. March of Dimes established the Mom and Baby COVID-19 Intervention and Support Fund to address the urgent need for research, advocacy and education to protect moms, babies and families from COVID-19 and the unknown future effects of the virus. The fund supports:
Research
To fast track the development of interventions for COVID-19 that are safe for pregnant and lactating women.
Advocacy
To call on government officials to include pregnant and lactating women in COVID-19 clinical trials and make sure they have access to vaccines and/or therapeutics once they are developed.
Education
To provide families with the latest information on COVID-19 to ensure they stay informed about COVID-19 countermeasures in development and distribution.
Once the goal of the Mom and Baby COVID-19 Intervention and Support Fund has been satisfied, March of Dimes will distribute donations where the need is greatest to support the health of all moms and babies.
