Perinatal justice shouldn't be gated by income. Your contribution helps make sure it isn't.

The Pray It Forward Fund: One Fund, Three Purposes

Every contribution to Pray It Forward goes into a single fund that supports:

Sliding scale services — making doula care, training, and services accessible to a family who needs it but can't pay full price.
Athena's path to law school — building the legal expertise this work needs from the inside.
Nonprofit infrastructure — the foundation Birthers of Civilization is building toward as it grows beyond one practice into a nonprofit.

Birthers of Civilization is currently organized as an LLC, not a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit. Contributions are not tax-deductible as it would be with a formally organized nonprofit. We're building toward nonprofit status after the completion of law school in 5 years— and your support is part of what makes that possible — but until that's official, please give knowing this is a direct gift, not a charitable donation for tax purposes. We believe in being straightforward about this. If you have questions about how your contribution is used, reach out anytime.

Every gift — $5 or $500 — is an act of building something bigger than any one of us.

Pray It Forward:

One Fund, Three Purposes

This is not a tip jar. It's an investment in to community doula care that reaches further than any one family's ability to pay, supports Athena's legal education, and supports the infrastructure for this doula practice to expand into a nonprofit.

We want to be able to recognize you for your support. Please let us know how much you'd like to give, and we'll send you secure instructions for Venmo, CashApp, or Zelle transfer.

Thank you for believing in this work before the paperwork catches up to the mission.

Accountable to community. Built for generations.
