Sponsorship

We offer prenatal, labor and delivery (L&D), and postpartum support through 18 months postpartum via sponsorship. To provide professional services, we seek out Black-owned/led businesses and organizations in the communities we serve who already offer these services and partner with them by providing fundraising support, financial coverage for sponsorship services, and any support where our missions align. We do not want to divide any resources going towards the same goal. We will be better together.
