The goal of the Maternal & Infant Health Initiative is to reduce disparities, increase access to care, and improve outcomes for pregnant individuals and their infants. The Health Fund makes grant investments through the initiative to support community-driven, locally focused projects that incorporate at least one of three priority categories:

  • Address service delivery environment barriers to improve access to equitable pre-conceptual and perinatal health care through improved integration of medical, behavioral, public health, and social services.
  • Increase access to protective and clinical interventions including improved screening before, during, and after pregnancy for health risks, as well as referral and connection to treatment or services.
  • Address targeted policies, practices, and procedures at the local or practice level that impact or prohibit the best outcomes for birthing parents and infants. We’re looking for implementation of structural changes in communities and organizations that help families navigate and remove barriers to maternal and infant health.
