About the Nonprofit

Good Beginnings is a grassroots nonprofit organization with an outsized impact on families with babies. Based in Montpelier, we have been supporting families through their postpartum transition since 1991. We do this through community-based programming that offers respite and emotional support, connects families to community resources, and promotes the mental health and well-being of new parents. In recent years, we have expanded our emphasis on raising awareness of perinatal mood and anxiety disorders and on improving access to resources for families experiencing these challenges. Each year, we support hundreds of families throughout Central Vermont. Any family with a new baby is eligible, regardless of income or circumstance. Families experiencing financial hardship may apply for assistance from our Perinatal Support Fund. At the heart of what we do is our network of more than 60 community members who volunteer their time.
