THE BRIDGE PROJECT
Launched in June 2021, The Bridge Project is an unconditional cash transfer program designed to provide additional support for mothers during the most important periods of their child's lives in terms of mental, physical, and emotional development: the prenatal period and the first 1,000 days of life. We currently support over 1,400 mothers and infants across the United States and are thrilled to be expanding our program to the Appalachian region beginning in January 2025.
Interested birthing parents can apply beginning January 8th, 2025. Information can be found in the forms below.
