About Prolacta Bioscience Foundation
Prolacta Bioscience Foundation’s clearest pattern is a steady mix of neonatal education, family support, and equipment-focused grants, with recurring support for lactation training and NICU care. Across recent awards, the foundation has backed medical education conferences, scholarships for lactation and childbirth credentials, and direct-service programs for parents of premature and medically fragile infants. A flagship example is the $75,000 grant to Children's Hospital of Orange County for the NeoHeart Conference, which shows the foundation’s interest in professional development tied to neonatal care. Another major award went to Embrace Global for portable baby incubators for Ukraine, reflecting support for neonatal technology in crisis settings. The foundation also funds parent-facing work, including Hand to Hold’s virtual NICU family support programming and peer mentor services. Its portfolio includes hospitals, university foundations, and specialist nonprofits, with grants that connect clinical practice, parent empowerment, and newborn health support. The legal name on file is PROLACTA BIOSCIENCE FOUNDATION, and the latest 990 year on file is 2025.
