PHP proudly joined grantee partner, the Philly Joy Bank, last Saturday to celebrate their official launch with birth justice champions from across the city.

The Philly Joy Bank is a guaranteed income pilot. The goal is to address racial disparities in infant mortality and promote healthy births, perinatal well-being, and optimal childhood development.

This project, developed by the Philadelphia Maternal and Infant Health Community Action Network (PhillyCAN), will recruit 250 pregnant people in their second or third trimester from specific Philly areas.

Participants will receive $1,000 of monthly guaranteed income and voluntary support services during pregnancy and for 12 months postpartum.

The Philly Joy Bank aims to improve participants’ financial stability to help reduce stress during and after pregnancy. As a result, birthing people will gain autonomy and agency to address family priorities and needs.

We have awarded a grant of $200,000 to the Philly Joy Bank, a guaranteed income pilot that will provide pregnant Philadelphians with no strings attached cash with the goal of improving birth outcomes.

The Philly Joy Bank is a project developed by PhillyCAN and works to decrease risks for infant prematurity by improving the mental, physical, and financial health of pregnant people.

Among the ten largest cities in the US, Philadelphia has both the highest poverty rate and highest infant mortality rate — both of which feature profound racial gaps.
