Mum Health Nonprofit Wins MacArthur Grant

Many people already know about the MacArthur Foundation’s so-called “genius” awards. These are grants worth half-a-million U.S. dollars that the charitable foundation give to creative sorts, with no strings attached.

On Wednesday, the philanthropic organization announced that it was giving $350,000 to ARTH, a health nonprofit that works in Rajasthan, to fund its effort to improve healthcare for expectant mothers and reduce deaths from deliveries.
