Why this matters

Many parents want to take time off after welcoming a child but cannot afford unpaid leave. As a result, they often return to work earlier than planned.

Those early weeks at home are critical—for physical recovery, bonding, and establishing routines that support both parent and child. More time during this period can have lasting benefits for family wellbeing.

TAKE MORE LEAVE helps bridge the financial gap so families can spend more time together during one of life’s most important moments.

Our goal: fund the first 100 weeks of parental leave.

We are launching with a pilot to support families across the U.S.

Weeks funded goal: 100

Families supported: Coming Soon

Funding raised: $2,000
