On October 5, in support of our Standing Up for Black Mothers and Babies event, invest in Black maternal and infant health by making a contribution to Generate Health!

About us: Generate Health's vision is to make St. Louis a place where Black families thrive before, during, and beyond pregnancy. We're a coalition that brings Black women and birthing people, providers, policy makers, and advocates together to make this vision a reality.

About #GiveGHDay: We're hosting a #GiveGHDay to sustain our impact this year in conjunction with our annual Standing Up for Black Mothers and Babies Event. Generate Health is primarily funded by grants, which come with restrictions and increased administration costs. Fundraisers like #GiveGHDay give us flexibility in our budget to quickly respond to emerging needs in our community.

About the Event: Standing Up For Black Mothers and Babies was created to shine a spotlight on inspiring efforts of local leaders to improve maternal and child health, and has become the premier celebration of racial equity-centered maternal and child health in St. Louis. Our goal is $37,000 this year. We seek to harness the power of peer-to-peer fundraising by inviting community ambassadors to create their own fundraising page and share it with their networks. The Give GH Day will replace the traditional “Paddle Raise” and auction portion of the event and allow space for more participation at any level.

We take a race- and class-conscious approach to fundraising and invite you to make an investment in Black maternal and infant health that feels significant to you -- whether that means $5 or $5,000. If you identify as a white ally with financial abundance, we would like to invite you to make a stretch gift.

Thank you in advance for your generosity!
