Doula Programs: Funding Sources
Nonprofit doula program directors should check out these funders to see what might be available for maternal-infant health focused initiatives in the coming year. It is not hard to make a case that the one-on-one support that doulas provide can have an positive effect on maternal and infant well being. If you can tie your program in with hot topics such as postpartum depression (education, prevention, early detection, and support services), prematurity, teen pregnancy, and so on, so much the better.
- March of Dimes (look for your state’s chapter)
- The Anna Lalor Burdick Program
- The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation Community Health Leaders Program
