Description:

The racial wealth gap has persisted for decades and may play a key role in preterm birth disparities. Directly addressing income insecurity in pregnancy offers an untapped opportunity to generate long-term health and financial improvements for families. For our May Collaboratory, join us for a discussion on the racial wealth gap and promising approaches to addressing its implications for perinatal health. We are excited to co-host this discussion with the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco and Asset Funders Network. 
Come hear about:

  • The pattern and historical underpinnings of the gender and racial wealth gap.
  • A pilot effort in San Francisco to provide cash support to pregnant Black and Pacific Islander women.
  • New findings from research in Manitoba, Canada, where cash support during pregnancy was shown to reduce adverse birth outcomes.
