Help Us Raise $5,000 to Certify 4 Community Doulas!

We are raising $5,000 to provide DONA International certification for four dedicated doulas who are already supporting families in our community.

This certification is more than a credential — it’s a pathway to sustainable support and access. Once certified through DONA (the world’s leading doula organization), these doulas will be eligible to:

Be listed in hospital and community directories
Become accessible to more families, especially those who can’t afford out-of-pocket doula care
Qualify for CARROT insurance reimbursement with most major providers
Prepare for potential Medicaid reimbursement, coming soon as policies evolve

Why This Matters

Many families want the support of a doula, but cost can be a major barrier. Certification ensures doulas can serve low-income families, Medicaid recipients, and underserved communities — all while being fairly compensated for their life-changing work.

Your donation will help cover:

Certification fees
Required training materials and workshops
Continuing education and documentation costs

This isn’t just a professional milestone — it’s an investment in maternal health equity, birth justice, and community resilience.

Thank You for Your Support!

We are so grateful for your generosity. Your donation helps build a future where all families have access to the care and advocacy they deserve — and where doulas can serve their communities sustainably.

Because of you, we’re one step closer to a world where every birth is supported, every family is empowered, and every doula is valued.

With heartfelt gratitude,

River City Doula Services
