REACHUP receives grant support from Sundt Foundation
Tampa, Fla. — REACHUP is honored to receive a $5,000 grant from the Sundt Foundation in support of our mission to improve maternal and infant health outcomes in Hillsborough County.
REACHUP representatives visited the Sundt Foundation office to officially receive the generous grant award and share more about the work being done in the community.
The funding will help REACHUP continue expanding community-based programs and support services for mothers, babies, and families throughout pregnancy and the postpartum journey. The grant will also support our broader “34 to Zero” fundraising campaign, an initiative named after the reality that in Hillsborough County, 34 mothers die for every 100,000 births, more than twice the state average, and that most of those deaths are preventable.
Through this campaign, REACHUP is working to expand access to maternal health education, care coordination, and culturally competent doula support through its Doula Training and Resource Center, while aiming to increase the number of families served annually from 6,000 to 7,500.
We are deeply grateful to Sundt Foundation for investing in organizations that strengthen local communities and improve the well-being of families across the country.
