National Association Of Certified Professional Midwives

The National Association of Certified Professional Midwives (NACPM) is dedicated to advancing midwifery care to improve maternal and infant health outcomes and ensure equitable access to culturally responsive, community-based care for all families. Our mission is to strengthen the Certified Professional Midwife (CPM) profession and advocate for systemic changes that address the growing maternity care crisis in the U.S., particularly in underserved and marginalized communities.

Your donation directly supports our efforts to achieve this mission through a range of impactful programs and initiatives. We advocate for federal and state legislation to ensure CPMs are integrated into healthcare systems, securing access to midwifery care for more families. Our initiatives include developing resources like legislative toolkits, mapping midwifery laws, and guiding state advocates to craft policies that support sustainable midwifery practices. We also work to diversify the midwifery workforce through scholarship programs, such as the Bigger Table Fund, which removes financial barriers for student midwives of color, Indigenous, and LGBTQIA2S+ communities.

By supporting NACPM, you are investing in a future where every family has access to safe, high-quality maternity care and every midwife has the resources to thrive. Together, we can reduce maternal and infant mortality, promote health equity, and build a sustainable midwifery profession that meets the needs of communities across the country. Your contribution makes a meaningful difference in achieving these critical goals.
