Portland, OR | Portland New Family Fund provides financial assistance to low-income parents for birth doulas, postpartum doulas and newborn lactation/feeding services. To preserve doula care as a sustainable business, we fairly compensate birth professionals as part of our equity model. We believe the health of new and expanding families should be a top priority in the U.S. Our vision is to see all new parents have the resources they need to grow their family with enough support to thrive physically, emotionally and mentally. WHY DOULA CARE? There’s a health crisis in the US for moms/birthing parents and babies. The US has one of the worst maternity care health outcomes of all wealthy countries. Study after study shows doula care improves outcomes significantly, particularly for marginalized families. BIPOC parents are disproportionately affected by preventable poor maternal health outcomes. Black parents have the worst outcomes. Birth and postpartum doula care improves outcomes IMMEDIATELY for the families who have access to it.
