Mississippi Maternal Health Project
The Women’s Foundation of Mississippi is now accepting grant proposals for the Mississippi Maternal Health Project.

These organizations will lead interventions in East Biloxi, Jackson, and Sunflower County, Mississippi.

We are prioritizing projects that clearly demonstrate measurable outcomes in maternal and infant health.
