 2015 Montana Chapter Grant Program
The March of Dimes is a national voluntary health agency whose mission is to improve the health of babies by preventing birth defects, premature birth and infant mortality. Founded in 1938, the March of Dimes funds programs of research, community services, education and advocacy to save babies. Premature birth is the leading cause of newborn death worldwide. Even babies born just a few weeks too soon can face serious health challenges and are at risk of lifelong disabilities.
The goal of the Chapter Grant Program is to identify and fund community-based projects addressing the health concerns of women and infants in Montana. As part of this effort, the Montana Chapter invites your organization to participate in our 2014 Chapter Grant Program. Proposals must address the March of Dimes stated mission. Priority will be given to projects that meet one or more of the criteria: a) are evidence-based; b) include measurable outcomes; and, c) promote equity in birth outcomes. Projects may focus on consumers and/or health care providers.
