Rx Kids

Rx Kids officially expanded to all 15 U.P. counties on March 1, 2026, marking the largest geographic expansion in the program's history. Expectant mothers across the U.P. can now enroll to receive a one-time $1,500 prenatal payment and $500/month for the first six months of their baby's life. 

Superior Health Foundation is proud to serve as regional fiduciary for Rx Kids across the Upper Peninsula, helping bring this program to the families and communities we serve.

Rx Kids is the nation's first community-wide prenatal and infant cash prescription program, led by Michigan State University and administered by GiveDirectly. With the addition of Detroit and the central and western U.P., Rx Kids will now be reaching more than 18,000 Michigan babies born each year.
