Birth Equity Resource

Birth Equity Resource is a nonprofit organization supporting expectant families who want greater choice and autonomy in pregnancy and childbirth. Rooted in community, it works to reduce healthcare barriers that can limit access to community birth, including financial and insurance-related obstacles. Its goal is to help every pregnant person choose a provider, preferred birth setting, and mode of birth with dignity and informed support.

The organization offers assistance to families seeking community birth, including financial help through grants and an equity fund, as well as educational resources for informed decision-making. Its support helps connect families with birth options and care providers, while recognizing that birth workers should be compensated appropriately. Families can apply for help, and community members can contribute through donations, volunteering, and sharing the organization’s mission.

Birth Equity Resource also hosts events to raise awareness and celebrate community, and provides opportunities to participate through vendor and volunteer applications.
