Lamaze Offers Birth Network Grants
Application Deadline: 5:00 p.m. (EST), Friday, October 17, 2008
The Lamaze Institute for Normal Birth was launched to support
initiatives that provide credible, relevant and useful information about normal birth to birth professionals and the public. A key initiative of the Lamaze Institute for Normal Birth is to support the development of grassroots, community-based Birth Networks. Since 2003,
the Lamaze Institute for Normal Birth has given numerous mini-grants to birth networks throughout the United States.
The Goals of the Birth Network Mini-Grant Initiative
The Birth Network Mini-Grant Initiative is designed to support the development or expansion of community-based networks that bring the public and birth professionals together to:
- promote the Six Care Practices that Support Normal Birth and the Mother-Friendly Childbirth Initiative (MFCI)
- improve the quality of maternity care locally
- provide information and resources to expectant women and their families so that they can make informed choices about maternity care.
The Lamaze Institute for Normal Birth offers up to ten $500 to $1,000 grants annually to support established or emerging community-based Birth Networks in North America

Lamaze- Building Confidence Weekly
Three weeks ago I signed up for Lamaze’s new Building Confidence Week by Week e-mails. So far, I have found them to be fantastic! Each e-mail has a little something written on preparation for labor and birth, a specific stage of birth, etc. The best part is the tone that they are written in. A lot of what is available on the internet is written to scare pregnant women. Lamaze’s e-mails are written the way you would expect – that pregnancy and birth are normal, natural parts of life. The other thing I have found is that when reading the e-mails I feel so much more positive. I get EXCITED about my baby’s arrival instead of dreading it as some literature has made me feel. So, overall, I give them four stars. What about you? Have you enjoyed them? If you haven’t signed up – you can do so here Lamaze Building Confidence Week by Week Continue reading
