Writing Us Back Into The Birth Story Trans Birth Fund
Birth Center Equity and Orchid Capital Collective are thrilled to announce the Writing Us Back Into The Birth Story Trans Birth Fund, providing grants of $10,000-$20,000 to uplift BIPOC Trans*, Intersex, and GNC-led birthwork and family building through small-scale funding, strengthening movement intersections and building solidarity inside of the BIPOC-led Birth Justice movement.
2023 Impact Report
Reflect on another year of transformation and growth with the Birth Center Equity 2023 Impact Report, where our bold and thoughtful strides towards a just and inclusive birth care system are described and celebrated. Over the past year, we’ve taken significant steps forward, infusing $1.1 million into community birth centers.
We’re proud of our collective accomplishments, including the launch of Birth Center Week, which significantly raised the profile and understanding of community birth centers as safe, culturally-reverent, and midwifery-led spaces. Through the powerful efforts of our network, we’re not just witnessing change—we’re driving it, fostering a future in which we continue to grow birth centers, nurture community connections, and create thriving futures for families.
Less than 5% of birth centers in the US are led by people of color.
Racial inequity in funding and investment is a barrier to Black, Indigenous, people of color (BIPOC) opening and sustaining community birth centers.
To birth a just and bright future, we must fund and invest in BIPOC-led community birth centers at scale.
