Description
The Elevance Health Foundation’s Maternal/Infant Health grant aims to address significant disparities in maternal and infant health outcomes across the United States, with a particular emphasis on supporting women and babies of color who are disproportionately affected. The Foundation seeks to fund initiatives that reduce preterm births, severe maternal morbidity, and primary cesarean rates, while also supporting awareness campaigns, healthcare worker training, and community partnerships. The current five-year commitment (2025–2029) prioritizes innovative, scalable, and community-driven solutions that holistically address the physical, behavioral, and social needs of mothers and infants from preconception through 12 months postpartum.
