Donate

Tax deductible donations are facilitated through a fiscal sponsor at this link. This is useful for large or monthly donations where a tax receipt is needed. Please note that you can change the “tip” to the platform to zero if you do not want to give in that way. A suggested tip of $5.00 is appreciated to keep the service free. Thank you!

Donations through this website are accepted here. We are a 501(c)6 organization. This status enables us to use your donation for lobbying purposes, but is not tax deductible. Please note that there are a couple of tricky points here that tack on additional fees if you do not uncheck a box or change the tip to $0. We apologize for the inconvenience, but this platform allows us to keep 100% of our donations!

Provide Better Birth Options for Georgia Families

Direct-entry midwives provide families with evidence-informed care in the unique setting of the family home. We are mobile health care providers that work one-on-one with mothers and babies in a state that currently experiences a massive shortage of obstetrical providers. We believe that healthy birth experiences make healthy families, and healthy families create a healthier world! Midwives help people out! If you were helped by a midwife, consider donating today toward efforts to ensure everyone gets the option of a community midwife present at their birth! These efforts include: Mentoring tomorrow’s community midwives and educating about midwifery training and excellent outcomes. Your donation could help secure your daughter’s access to community birth with a midwife

Imagine a day when midwives can practice without fear of being forced to stop. Imagine a day when your insurance can pay for your midwifery care. A day when finding a midwife is easy and everyone woman that wants one. Getting comprehensive care (even pap smears!) from your chosen midwife provider when and how you need it. 

Will you join us in our fight to protect Georgia families and midwives?

Please give to protect the future availability of midwives to protect women’s autonomous choices! This money will be directly used for lobbying at the Georgia capitol in favor of a licensure bill for midwives. .

Legislative Efforts

Georgia’s Community Midwives are working daily to secure licensure in the state of Georgia. We do much of the lobbying ourselves, and at times utilize a professional lobbyist. We need funds to pay for the lobbyist, create educational materials to hand to legislators, and cover the other expenses occurred as we travel weekly (and sometimes daily) to the Georgia State Capitol.

See legislative updates for news on our current bill. We need your help in getting it to the finish line!

Student Trainings

Part of ensuring a diverse midwifery force involves eliminating obstacles to becoming a midwife. Refusing to engage in hierarchal attitudes of privilege, we maintain that community midwifery training events should be free of charge so that anyone that desires to be a midwife can come. This functions as an opportunity for students to gain apprenticeship opportunities and additional skills that may not be available at their clinical placement.
