One in nine babies is born too soon and prematurity is the leading cause of newborn death in the United States. All babies deserve 40 weeks! The Foundation for Prematurity offers support to families directly impacted by prematurity. We serve families in the Delaware Valley area who have babies currently in the NICU and those families who have transitioned home. Prematurity has life-long challenges. Our goal is to support the global development of these tiny babies born weeks or months too soon by offering grants direct to local families to enhance growth and development. We are currently looking to meet a need for gas cards for families currently experiencing extended hospitalizations. Babies need to bond with their caregivers and caregivers need to bond with their babies. Please help us offset some of the financial drain NICU families face during these difficult days. All monies raised by The Foundation for Prematurity goes directly to families. None of our board members receive any compensation whatsoever.
