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
The hard truth is that we cannot pass a licensure bill without professional lobbying support. Despite our passion and grassroots efforts, we face powerful opposition from well-funded organizations including the Medical Association of Georgia and other medical groups who actively work against midwifery legislation.
Our experienced lobbyists:
Navigate the complex legislative landscape
Build relationships with key lawmakers
Counter the arguments from opposing organizations
Keep our bill alive and moving through committees
Ensure our voices are heard in rooms where decisions are made
Our midwives are making tremendous sacrifices to serve Georgia families. While they take professional and legal risks to attend births, we're asking you to make a financial contribution to secure their future.
Your donation directly funds our lobbying efforts—the most effective path to licensure.
$50 funds one hour of lobbying work
$250 supports a day of legislative meetings
$500 helps create educational materials for lawmakers
$1,000+ provides sustained advocacy through critical legislative sessions

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.
