The Ms. Foundation for Women’s Birth Justice Initiative aims to advance equitable birth outcomes and experiences, strengthen grassroots BIPOC-led birth justice organizations, and expand the frame of birth justice to support intersectional movements and strategies that recognize the full spectrum of experiences and identities in birthing, parenting, and family building.
Through the current call for proposals, the Initiative will provide two-year grants to birth justice organizations led by and for Black, Indigenous, and other women of color. Support will be provided for organizations that are serving the U.S. South, Midwest, Southwest, Alaska, Hawaii, or U.S. territories and working for change at a local or state level. Organizations must be implementing birth justice strategies that are rooted in movement building and organizing, and connected to the broader reproductive justice movement.
