First Candle has received a grant from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation to conduct a ground-breaking program to help prevent infant deaths that occur as a result of unsafe sleep practices in Indiana, Washington and the District of Columbia. The organization’s Bedtime Basics for Babies Initiative’s goal is to demonstrate our ability to influence infant sleeping practices and save infant lives.

First Candle thanks not only the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, but  its coordinating partners – the Indiana University School of Medicine, Riley Children’s Hospital and Seattle Children’s Hospital and Regional Medical Center.
