Financial Needs Based Awards
About the Awards
The Normalizing Homebirth Project strives to serve as a bridge that connects families in financial need with donors supportive of homebirth.
As supportive individuals or organizations donate funds to our project, these become available for distribution to families who have applied for assistance in covering the cost of their homebirth.
While we strive to assist every family who is eligible, our ability to award funds is dependent upon the donations received.
What We Provide
We strive to eliminate the gap between a family’s available funds and the practitioner’s fee for homebirth.
To this end, we send the needed amount directly to the practitioner.
To accomplish this, we serve as a bridge to connect families in financial need with donors supportive of homebirth.
Through our “Sponsor-a-Homebirth” page, potential donors can view the stories and photos of our current accepted applicants and make direct donations toward particular families.
Donors also have the option to contribute lump sums to the project,
which will be dispersed to eligible families at the discretion of the Awards Committee.
Who is Eligible to Apply
Families who can demonstrate financial need, are pregnant, and planning to homebirth with a legal care provider are eligible to apply.
(If the care provider in not legal within the state in which you plan to homebirth, we are unable to accept your application.)
