March of Dimes Birth Defects Foundation
 PROFILE
The March of Dimes Birth Defects Foundation has been lending its hand since 1938. Founded by President Franklin Roosevelt to fight polio, the organization has evolved into an advocate for the prevention of birth defects and infant mortality. With more than 80 chapters in the US and Puerto Rico, the March of Dimes has made access to health care, research, and prevention programs its chief priorities. In 2000 the organization committed $36.1 million to research grants (10 scientists funded by the March of Dimes have received the Nobel Prize). Its prevention programs include promotion of folic acid for women of childbearing age, professional education programs, and employer-based health programs.
