March of Dimes Innovation Fund

March of Dimes leads the fight for the health of all moms and babies. Building on a nearly 85-year legacy of impact and innovation, we established the March of Dimes Innovation Fund as a new way to advance our mission and provide value to the people we serve.
We’re investing in the latest breakthroughs and solutions

The March of Dimes Innovation Fund is a venture philanthropy initiative that will use donated funds to invest in early-stage companies to address the most pressing maternal and infant health challenges to improve outcomes and impact moms’ and babies’ lives now.

As the leading organization fighting to improve mom and baby health, we stay current on the latest science breakthroughs and solutions in the market that address the needs of families in communities nationwide. With our Innovation Fund, we seek to support promising companies with proven or strong potential for impact, and that are poised to benefit from March of Dimes’ investment and support.
