Our Mission
To ensure birthing people who identify as Black, Indigenous or a Person of Color have access to safe, respectful, and supportive births.
OUR VISION
CU Birth Fund imagines a future where the rates of pregnancy-related deaths in our community are eliminated. We will make this happen by providing funds for pregnant people of color to secure midwifery and/or doula care. Our goal is to make sure all pregnant people have access to affordable, culturally sensitive, and supportive care.
