rhode futures foundation’s Support for Moms Fund is a $1 million grant that invests in 10 organizations delivering guaranteed income and resources to new mothers, mother-like figures, and caregivers across the U.S. We’re spotlighting each of these impactful organizations and sharing how they’re helping foster equity and reduce the burden of unpaid care.
Today, we’re proud to highlight Magnolia Mother’s Trust, a Mississippi-based organization that delivers guaranteed income to Black moms living in public housing. For new moms navigating the challenges of public housing—where poverty rates are highest and systemic barriers run deepest—unconditional cash programs give them financial stability to pay off debt, secure long-term stable housing, and build pathways out of poverty. The work of Magnolia Mother’s Trust proves that unconditional support can transform lives, fostering agency, dignity, and opportunity.
