For All Mothers+

Families are built in countless ways, and every family deserves to be seen, supported, and valued. ❤️

At For All Mothers+, we know that advancing maternal equity means supporting all parents, caregivers, and family-building journeys. It means recognizing that there is no one-size-fits-all path to parenthood and that everyone deserves access to the care, resources, opportunities, and support systems they need to thrive.

As we continue our work to eliminate the Motherhood Penalty, we’re committed to listening, learning, and leaning into conversations with LGBTQ+ athlete mothers and parents to better understand the barriers that impact participation in sport, movement, and everyday life.

Today and every day, we celebrate the strength, resilience, and contributions of LGBTQ+ parents, caregivers, and families. 🌈

We’re beyond excited to welcome Dr. Libby Bunker as our new Managing Director 💛✨

Libby joins FAM+ as a public health leader, researcher, advocate, runner, and mom of three—and someone who deeply understands both the challenges mothers face and the power of sport, movement, and community.

Her career has been dedicated to advancing health equity for mothers and children around the world, and her passion for creating meaningful, lasting change makes her a perfect fit for our mission. From her groundbreaking work in maternal health research to her lived experience balancing motherhood, work, and running, Libby brings both expertise and heart to this role. ✨

As we continue working to eliminate the Motherhood Penalty through advocacy, research, grants, storytelling, and community, we couldn’t be more grateful to have Libby helping lead the way.

Thank you for trusting us with your stories. We can’t wait to celebrate this year’s recipients and continue building a world where mothers don’t have to choose between caregiving and getting out there. ❤️

Last year, more than 900 mothers applied for the Childcare So You Can Get Out There Grant with .

Their applications told a powerful story.

Not of a lack of motivation, talent, or desire—but of the very real barriers that stand between mothers and movement: the cost of childcare, the logistics, the mental load, and the challenge of finding time for themselves.

The quotes in these slides come directly from 2025 applicants. They are a reminder that for many moms, getting to a start line—or returning to sport after becoming a parent—is about much more than training.

It’s about support.

If childcare is standing between you and your next race, adventure, or return to movement, we encourage you to apply to this year’s 2026 Childcare Grant.

• A Mila’s Keeper insulated cooler
• Dedicated milk transport support throughout the race

June is here, and so are important elections happening across the country. 🗳️

At For All Mothers+, we believe motherhood is more than a personal experience — it’s shaped by policies, systems, and decisions made at every level of government. From paid family leave and childcare access to maternal healthcare and reproductive freedom, elections have real impacts on mothers and families. 🤍

Voting is one of the most powerful ways we can advocate for a future where mothers are supported, protected, and able to thrive.

As election season continues, take time to understand what’s on your ballot, learn about the issues affecting mothers and families, and make a plan to vote. ✨
