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
