*We are a small non-pofit organization and rely on donations to run this program. Therefore, we can only support a certain number of individuals/families per calendar year.
The Doula Stipend Program is currently on hold due to funding constraints. If you are in need of doula support, please visit our doula directory to find a doula who services your area. If you are having financial trouble affording a doula please reach out to us by email and we may be able to set you up with a volunteer doula or someone who offers sliding scale.
