Pregnant mother allowance program slated to receive $15M grant
“A new program created by Michigan State University to help fight childhood poverty is slated to receive a $15 million challenge grant from the Charles Stewart Mott Foundation if they can one-to-one match the same amount raised by other sources. The program, Rx Kids, is an initiative to provide direct cash payments to mothers in Flint during pregnancy and throughout the first year of a child’s life. Rx Kids will be the first citywide program of its kind in the U.S.”
