The Lamaze Institute for Normal Birth offers small grants to birth networks every year for projects that they are doing. ?The awards are between $500-1000. ?While the word grant might scare you off, these are very straight forward to do, though require some thought and planning. ?Don’t let the October 16th deadline come up before you start writing!
Some birth networks have funded projects like maternity information fairs. ?Others have used the money to train leaders, work on a local transparency project or support education locally. ?The whole point is that a birth network has the pulse of what’s going on in their neighborhood and can best decide what projects they need.?What would you do with that money? ?Feel free to talk it out in the comments, we have some mentors reading and willing to help you!
A woman got one nearby and she has a series of free birth workshops led by a Birthing from Within teacher!
