The Government’s Newborn Grants Programme took effect on August 1, 2026, fulfilling a commitment made by Prime Minister Hon. Philip J. Pierre in the 2026/2027 Budget.
Under the programme, mothers of eligible registered newborns will receive a one-time grant of EC$1,000.
To qualify, the child must be born on or after August 1, 2026, and the birth must be registered within six months of the child’s date of birth. Both requirements must be met.
The Newborn Grant is intended to help mothers meet some of the immediate expenses associated with caring for a baby. It also encourages timely birth registration, which gives every child a legal identity and is necessary for accessing public services and obtaining official documents.
The programme forms part of the Government’s efforts to provide practical support to families at important stages of their children’s lives.
Further information on the Newborn Grants Programme may be obtained from the Civil Status Registry.

It is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout. The point of using Lorem Ipsum is that it has a more-or-less normal distribution of letters, as opposed to using ‘Content here, content here’, making it look like readable English. Many desktop publishing packages and web page editors now use Lorem Ipsum as their default model text, and a search for ‘lorem ipsum’ will uncover many web sites still in their infancy.
