Recently there was a post on Lactnet announcing grant money which would be
available to start a milk bank.  There is a group in my city that has made
the preliminary application.  Now that we are looking into the application
further, there are some things that aren’t exactly clear.  We are doing our
best to determine whether this proposal is one to pursue.  At this point it
looks like the funding comes from a company called Prolacta that may include
a  private investor named Elena Medo.  It does not appear to be affiliated
with the Human Milk Bank Association of North America.  We have been
informed that there are no Code violations and that the funding does not
come from Formula manufacturers.  However, it is not clear where the money
comes from or even where the milk will go once it is collected.

 

If anyone on Lactnet has any information which would be helpful to us as we
determine whether or not to pursue this grant, it will be greatly
appreciated.
