Why People Just Like You are Giving to 2020 Mom This Holiday Season
By Joy Burkhard, MBA
Founder & Executive Director
This year, like in years’ past, we accomplished a lot on a dime:
We had our biggest audience and most powerful speakers yet at the Maternal Mental Health FORUM, where cross-sector change agents convene to learn and get inspired
We launched the State Policy Fellows Program to drive state policy change nationally
We supported moms in navigating complex insurance denials
We pivoted from holding a 3-day Mom Congress event to building an on-line membership platform for Mom Congress change-makers and going deep to lift up urgent child care policy needs given the COVID crisis
We can’t produce pathways for change like this without your support.
Contributions to our 2020 year-end campaign go to the
2021 National State Advocacy Fund.
The projects that these funds will be used for include:
Tracking maternal mental health-related state policy in all 50 states
Creating calls to action for the maternal mental health community to support key state bills
Supporting local non-profit “backbone" organizations in conducting an advocacy day at their state capitols
Publishing "issue briefs" on key maternal mental health policy solutions
Our goal is to raise $25,000 to staff this important work.
Amare Global is helping to double your donation by matching all donations up to $12,000.
One more reason to give: The federal CARES Act expanded tax deductions for charitable giving in 2020. If you claim the standard deduction you can deduct up to $300 in donations you make to charities like 2020 Mom.
Will you help make our work to close gaps in
maternal mental health care possible so all moms,
babies and families thrive?
Donate now in honor of a mother and select an e-card we’ll send to the recipient with your message, letting them know you made a gift in their honor.
Thank you for investing in us.
Sincerely and with much gratitude,
Joy Burkhard,
MBA, Mom of Two, Maternal Mental Health Movement Maker
