Community Innovation Pilot Awards (CIPA) Program

These awards will fund innovative, community-based models throughout California that are working to improve Black maternal and infant health by reducing chronic stress, addressing neighborhood conditions, and expanding access to high-quality, respectful health care.

During the initial two-year funding cycle, the CIPA program will support 4-5 community-based organizations (CBOs) in California that are addressing maternal and infant health disparities by providing culturally congruent and community-centered perinatal health programs and services to pregnant and postpartum Black women, other Black birthing people, and their families.
