Healthy, safe beginnings to help kids learn, play and thrive

Strong, healthy families lead to strong, healthy communities.

Philanthropy enables us to tackle the national mental health crisis and racial health injustices that weigh on D.C. families. It helps us reach expecting parents who strive to give their babies stronger starts. Community generosity keeps kids healthy as they grow, learn and play.

“Kids can’t choose their parents, their insurance or even their pediatricians. But they all deserve the same access, quality and experience of care — the best. Children are our most important investment in the future.”
