Cash: Safeguarding our youngest Hoosiers

Posted by: Matt Stachler  | Thursday, July 16, 2026

For far too long, Indiana faced one of the highest infant mortality rates in the country. Every infant death is a heartbreaking tragedy, and for years those statistics reminded us more needed to be done to better support mothers, babies and families across our state.

That's why the General Assembly made reducing infant mortality a priority by passing House Enrolled Act 1004 in 2015, which established the Safety PIN (Protecting Indiana's Newborns) Grant Program. Rather than relying on a one-size-fits-all approach, Safety PIN invests in organizations that are making a measurable difference in communities throughout Indiana. We strengthened our commitment in 2023 by increasing funding for this program from $5.5 million in 2022 to $11 million and maintained that increase in the latest biennial state budget.
