National Organization Text4baby Basics

National Text4baby partners harness the power of their broad, diverse networks of members and chapters to spread the word about Text4baby. Though these organizations have varied missions, all have recognized the value that Text4baby adds to their existing goals and programs. National partners like March of Dimes, Planned Parenthood Federation of America, and the American Public Health Association view Text4baby as a tool to support the work their members do - at no cost.

By becoming part of this movement, you will be joining a network of organizations that is working together to create healthier communities.
