💜 Help us show up for moms.
As Women’s Health Month comes to a close, we are just $5,000 away from our fundraising goal for May and we’d be so grateful for your support.
Every dollar helps us push forward the work that matters: advancing research, strengthening advocacy, elevating patient voice, and improving care for mothers and babies.
At The Iris Fund, we’ve always believed something simple but important: a solution without a mother at the center is an incomplete solution.
This month, we showed up in rooms big and small, in hard conversations, and alongside people deeply committed to changing outcomes for women and families.
🏛️ In Washington, DC, we met with partners and advocates working to advance maternal health legislation.
🌿 In Virginia, we talked honestly about the progress women’s health has made and the urgent work still ahead to prevent preterm birth and stillbirth.
🗽 In New York City, we gathered with researchers, clinicians, philanthropists, and friends to talk about how patient voice, good data, and bold collaboration can move maternal health forward.
And through it all, people showed up. 💫
They showed up with expertise, curiosity, compassion, and determination. They showed up because moms and babies deserve better and because meaningful change only happens when we build it together.
Because of this community, we’ve raised nearly $25,000 this month. If our mission speaks to you, we’d be honored to have you join us in helping close the final gap.
🤍 Thank you for showing up for moms.
