Ways to give

Moms and babies face a serious health crisis today. Together we can change that. We have many options for you to give that can support research, education, advocacy and programs to ensure that every family is healthy and strong now and tomorrow.

Give a gift. Make a difference.

Any one of the options below will help us continue with our goal of creating a world where every mom and baby is healthy and strong, regardless of wealth, race, gender or geography.

One of the simplest ways to help is to make a financial contribution. Large or small, every dollar donated supports parents throughout their pregnancies and fuels our work.
DAF’s are the fastest-growing charitable giving vehicle in the U.S. because they’re one of the easiest and most tax-advantageous ways to give to charity.

There are many ways to give and make a difference for families. If you choose to give online, you can make a one-time donation or set up a monthly gift to March of Dimes. You can also make your donation in honor or in memory of a baby you love. The receipt for your tax-deductible gift will be available online in your March of Dimes account dashboard.

You can also make a gift by phone, mail or fax. To donate by phone, please call 800-658-6674 to speak to one of our representatives. Sending a donation via mail or fax is easy:

  1. Download our donation form (.PDF, 117KB). 
  2. Print a copy of the form. 
  3. Make your check payable to March of Dimes 
  4. Fax a completed copy along with your check to 914-997-4537, or mail to:

Every baby deserves the best possible start. But things don’t always go as planned. Your gift helps us fight for the health of all moms and babies.

Leave a lasting legacy

Charitable giving helps us be there for future generations. These planned giving options can be a benefit to you and your loved ones, but also can help make a powerful impact for families in need.

If you’re 70 or older, you may be eligible for this donation option which lets you make a gift to March of Dimes from your IRA without paying income tax on the amount transferred.
If you intend to make a gift, it may be more beneficial for you to use appreciated stock, bonds or mutual funds rather than cash because of potential tax savings.
As a network of like-minded leaders helping to improve mom and baby health and save lives, the Roosevelt Network enables you to join other leaders at high-profile events and interact with March of Dimes leadership at a different level.
