Make a Planned Gift
The Policy Center for Maternal Mental Health has made critical advances on our goals to save lives, remove stigma, and increase access to quality care for all Moms, but we know we must be advocates for all Moms for the long haul. We know that healthy moms are foundational for healthy children, healthy families, and healthy communities. Help us propel our work to safeguard the mental health of moms by considering a planned gift, like naming the Policy Center in your will or a retirement plan gift.

Give Through a Donor-Advised Fund
A Donor-Advised Fund is a way to give that makes it easy for you to support a cause you care about. It’s a convenient, flexible, and cost-effective way to manage your charitable giving.
Contributions into your Donor-Advised Fund are tax-deductible. You can recommend how much (and how often) you want to distribute money from that fund to the Policy Center for Maternal Mental Health or other charities.
Your support will go to work right away to help move the needle in maternal mental health. Learn more.
Donate Stock
If you intend to make a gift to support the Policy Center’s work, it may be more beneficial for you to use appreciated stock rather than cash because of potential tax savings.
By donating stock, you receive a charitable income tax deduction equal to the current fair market value of the securities on the date of the gift, provided you’ve held them for more than one year.
Additionally, when you gift stock, you’ll avoid paying capital gains tax, and the Policy Center will be able to liquidate the stock and receive the proceeds from the sale.

Cy Pres Awards and the Policy Center
Cy pres permits a court to award any unallocated, unclaimed, or undeliverable funds from a class action settlement or judgment to a non-profit organization.
Given the Policy Center’s work advancing a health care system that provides women with the maternal health and mental health care they deserve, the Policy Center is an ideal choice for a cy pres Award and has been approved as a cy pres recipient in past class action litigation.
Our multi-faceted approach combines insurance coverage case advocacy, education, media engagement and policy advocacy to break down barriers and empower mothers and their families to receive the care they deserve.
Following is an example of a case for which we supported the insurance appeal, regulatory complaint filing, and media outreach. This work ultimately led to Kaiser revising its coverage position to allow for easier access to this life-saving drug. It also led to the federal Department of Labor’s investigation into Kaiser’s compliance with the Federal mental health parity law.
Our work is conducted nationally, so we are eligible to be nominated in federal courts as well as state courts throughout the country.
If you, your firm, or someone you know is party to or counsel on a class action case involving potential cy pres awards, you can nominate the Policy Center as an awardee.
To help provide critical program support, please consider adding the Policy Center for Maternal Mental Health to your firm’s list of eligible cy pres recipients.
If you have questions or would like more information about our work or the cy pres process, please contact [email protected].
