Fellowship for Black Maternal Health

Funding Health Leaders Closest to the Issues

Announced at the September 2023 Clinton Global Initiative, Chicago Beyond’s Fellowship for Black Maternal Health seeks to improve health outcomes for Black mothers, birthing people, and children through large, flexible grants and support to a cohort of maternal health leaders in America. While we are continuing to listen to the field as we conduct program development, the Fellowship aims to innovate in how philanthropy supports birth justice, including:
    • Flexible Funding
      Chicago Beyond has committed $2 million in funding to support an exceptional cohort of leaders driving innovation in Black maternal health
    • Community Experience
      Fellowship designed for underrecognized innovators in Black maternal health, including mutual support, leadership growth, and community
    • Scaled Impacts
      Through collaboration, connection, and joint amplification, Fellows’ work will be more likely to advance structural change
