Healthy Fundraising

One Birth

Unlike CaringBridge, fellow health care nonprofit HealthConnect One does not rely almost entirely on individual donations for the bulk of its funding. The Chicago-based organization, missioned to advance respectful, community-based, peer-to-peer support for pregnancy, birth, breast feeding and early parenting by working with grassroots maternal and child health and social services providers through training, recently secured a $3 million grant from the W.K. Kellogg Foundation and also applied for funding from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services.
