History

Historical Context

Founded in 1938 by Franklin D. Roosevelt as the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis, the March of Dimes initially focused on combating polio. After funding the Salk vaccine, it shifted to preventing birth defects and reducing infant mortality. By 1986, its initiatives had halved infant mortality rates, reflecting a broader societal recognition of maternal and infant health issues, including pregnancy loss.
