Rural Access to Care Grant Initiatives
We are currently working to improve our fundraising efforts to promote grants for midwives serving in rural Alabama as well as physicians and hospitals serving rural Alabama with evidence based care.
Baobab Birth Collective Partnership 2019
We have partnered with the wonderful ladies at Baobab birth collective to increase and reflect diversity among our organization as well as to help increase access to Doulas and Birth workers of color through grants that will allow them to offer scholarships to specifically address the disparities in healthcare that relate to a lack of support and equity in care for women of color.
Shoals Doula Grant 2019
Shoals Doula Group 's Katie Terry of Florence Alabama approached us with a request for a grant of $1800 to provide doula trainings for women of color. The Shoals Doula Group reports that there are no Doula's of color currently serving women in the Shoals area. We appreciate the Shoals Doula Group and their commitment to increasing diversity among birth professionals in their area.
