BCE Impact Report
Join us on a journey of change and progress as we reflect on the incredible impact Birth Center Equity has made in just a few short years. Since our humble beginnings in the spring of 2020, we have achieved four major milestones in our mission to promote equity and accessibility in birth center care across the nation.
Our impact is felt in the stories of families who now have access to safe, culturally-reverent, midwifery-led birth center care in the communities they call home.
Don’t just take our word for it – explore the facts and figures in our comprehensive Impact Report.







Less than 5% of birth centers in the US are led by people of color.
This leaves most Black, Indigenous, and people of color (BIPOC) communities without access to safe and culturally reverent care that is a key solution for reversing the maternal health crisis.
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.
We support Black, Indigenous, people of color birth center leaders to access resources to improve birth outcomes and generate community birth center infrastructure that benefits everyone.
