Fundraisers like #GIVEDAYGH24 give us flexibility in our budget to quickly respond to emerging needs in our community.
We take a race- and class-conscious approach to fundraising and invite you to make an investment in Black maternal and infant health that feels significant to you — whether that means $5 or $5,000. If you identify as a white ally with financial abundance, we would like to invite you to make a stretch gift during Black Maternal Health Week.
Thank you in advance for your generosity & continued support!
