Birth Center Membership Support Grants

The Birth Center Membership Support Grants, offered by the American Association of Birth Centers Foundation, aim to assist birth centers facing financial hardships in paying membership fees. Eligible centers can receive support covering up to 50% of the fees, whether they are applying for membership for the first time or renewing their membership. This initiative emphasizes the importance of maintaining high standards in maternity care and supports centers committed to serving low-income women.

NOTE: The AABC Foundation will review grant applications on a rolling basis. Grants expire three months after issue, so please plan your application to fit into that timeline.
The Foundation aims to accomplish this mission by identifying funding needs and appropriate resources necessary to carry out the following goals:
Birth Center Membership Support Grants assist birth center applicants with up to 50% of membership fees due the American Association of Birth Centers (AABC) for (1) birth centers that are applying for membership for the first time and (2) birth centers that are due for membership renewal but experiencing a fiscal crisis. The AABCF has the exclusive authority to determine all grant guidelines, criteria, timelines and awards; and will monitor all grants.
Award certificates are issued to birth centers in the form of a promo code.  The code can be used online during the registration or renewal process.  An award promo code expires 3 months from the date of issue and so must be used in that time.
