GRANTEE SPOTLIGHT

Nurturing Care. Strengthening Families.

Our Women & Girls of Color grantee, Mama Bird Doula Services, is improving maternal health outcomes for Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) families across Colorado. Through education, mentorship, and self-care, Mama Bird supports doulas of color so they can show up fully for the families they serve. From lactation education and newborn care to mental health support and community for BIPOC moms and non-birthing partners, Mama Bird is building a more just and compassionate maternal health system in Colorado.
