Support The Birthing Place Foundation
Help us advance TBPF programs, projects, and initiatives
Dearest Community Members:
We have big news! This year THE BIRTHING PLACE FOUNDATION became official. Our newly designated 501c3 The Birthing Place Foundation (TBPF) builds access to culturally responsive reproductive health care, perinatal programs, family wellness support, and community engagement, with the aim of improving maternal and infant health outcomes in underserved communities.
We believe every individual deserves compassionate, holistic care that honors their unique needs and experiences. Our work is guided by a deep commitment to reproductive justice, health equity, and community empowerment. By supporting The Birthing Place Foundation, you'll be helping us drive meaningful change in the lives of families and individuals across NYC.
