Does anyone know of any foundations or grants that are available to those willing to help women in crisis and in need of Doula services?  I am a Doula and help those women who need education on pregnancy and do not have some one in their lives that can help them.  I do my services free of charge.  I am trying to study to get by Doula certificate and I am looking for some funding support.   

Giving birth to a baby is so much more than a physical phenomenon; it engages parents-to-be in a transformational experience, a key life event full of emotion and meaning. A doula who accompanies a woman in labor mothers the mother, taking care of her emotional needs throughout childbirth. A doula also provides support and suggestions for partners that can enhance their experiences of birth. A postpartum doula continues that valuable emotional support and guidance, helping a family make a smooth transition into new family dynamics.  Doulas are educated and knowledgeable about childbirth and the postpartum experience. They are advocates and a listening ear for birthing mothers, as well as facilitators to her partner. When a family goes home with a new baby, a postpartum doula supports every member and the family unit as a whole.
