Initiated in August 2021, the Black Birth Equity Project by Baby Dove, in collaboration with Black Mamas Matter Alliance, has disbursed over $650,000 in grants. This effort aims to provide support to over 500 Black mothers in the United States during pregnancy and postpartum by connecting them with doulas. The program seeks to address disparities in care and enhance health outcomes for expectant Black mothers.
