About The Miles Foundation
The Miles Foundation is a philanthropic initiative dedicated to resourcing the front-line caregivers of maternal health. We center the healing, leadership, and longevity of Black and Brown doulas, midwives, business owners and community birth workers.
Black Birth Equity
Black midwives play an important role in ensuring Black mothers and birthing people can access prenatal care that makes them feel secure and cared for. Especially Black mothers and birthing people, who experience negative birth and pregnancy outcomes at higher rates than other racial and ethnic groups.
The Miles Foundation in Action
The Miles & Miles Recognition Award!
We know that true support for those impacted by trauma and loss goes beyond the extra mile!
The Miles Foundation recognizes the birth workers, midwives, doulas, and providers who have embodied resilience, compassion and grit beyond all expectations. We want to know who in the community is going "Miles and Miles" to support women in the impacted by loss, bereavement or trauma. Send a message to Anisha@themilesfoundation.org !
