AZ Blue Foundation Awards $100,000 to Support Moms Across Arizona 2025 Momentum Maker Grant AZ Blue Foundation Awards $100,000 to Support Moms Across Arizona Mental health concerns are common during and after pregnancy. But many moms don’t get the care they need. A $100,000 grant aims to change that by expanding access to trained doulas who offer support, care, and help during this key time .
On August 4, the AZ Blue Foundation awarded 4 th Trimester Arizona with its annual Thiru Family Trust Momentum Maker Grant. The grant backs bold ideas that improve mental health in the state. This year, the focus is on helping moms .
“ Mental health is just as important as physical health , a nd no one should have to face it alone,” said Thiru Thangarathinam . “ This grant helps more families feel supported , and it’s an honor for our family to be part of that. ” The “It Takes a Village” project will help 30 community-based doulas become c redentialed with our state Medicaid program .
Each doula will also receive training in mental health and perinatal navigation to recognize signs of anxiety or depression and connect families with resources like housing, food, and counseling. It's estimated that these doulas will serve more than 1,800 moms in the next 5 years . “This kind of work gives moms real hope,” said Dr. Christine Bracamonte Wiggs, President of the AZ Blue Foundation.
“ We’re proud to support 4 th Trimester Arizona and are grateful for the Thiru Family Trust’s ongoing partnership to improve mental health in our state. Together, we are helping more families feel seen, heard, and cared for. ” Arizona faces gaps in mental health care for moms, especially in low-income and underserved communities.
About 1 in 5 moms face anxiety or depression. But less than 25 % get help. Doulas can help close that gap.
They meet moms where they are and offer care built on trust and empathy. “This funding will change the landscape of access to doula care for families in Arizona,” said Dr. Jennie Bever, CEO of 4 th Trimester Arizona. “It allows us to expand and strengthen Arizona’s maternal health workforce by removing barriers for doulas who reflect and serve communities with the greatest need .
” Many of these doulas live in the same neighborhoods as the moms they support. They share the same culture, language, and lived experiences. That includes groups that face higher risks for maternal mental health issues.
Because of that shared bond, it helps build trust and offers care that feels safe and personal. For more about th is grant, visit: www. azbluefoundation.
