MAKE A FINANCIAL CONTRIBUTION
Our most immediate need is for funds. Your tax-deductible donation is a change agent!
Contributions of $100, $1000, or more make a big difference in what we can do. However,
the cumulative effect of smaller contributions of $10 - $25 is very powerful. So do not
hesitate to send what you can. Your investment in the work of our organization makes you a
guardian of the health of mothers and children at this turning point in the history of
midwifery.
