Access Initiative

Our mission is to heal the unmet maternal healthcare needs of the families we serve by providing direct access to funding, resources, and support from providers and professionals we know personally from The Bridge Directory.

There are so many gaps that exist in our current healthcare experience. Who else is going to fill them, if we don't? Who will create the solutions we need?

Our initiatives include: Access - Care - Education

Access is a key component to our mission. This includes community funding. Our Community Fund provides access to experienced birth and postpartum doulas and home birth midwives. Your donation could fund doula services for a BIPOC family, a lactation visit for a struggling mom/parent, or a homebirth for parents-to-be with a midwife they trust. Your financial gift will directly benefit families looking for funding and access to high-quality care.

This community fund is for pregnant/new parents and families of color living in New York City and surrounding areas. We work on an honor based system, with a simple application process, and short phone interview, when applicable. Payments are made directly to the providers.
