Financial Accessibility
As a collective, we strive to model our fee structure in an equitable manner, taking the livelihood needs of both our community and of our doulas to heart.
In the Fall of 2017 we launched our Access Fund, a grant initiative aimed to meet the needs of all clients and families in Philadelphia. For more information on the Access Fund, click here.
In addition to the Access Fund, many of our doulas are open to creating payment plans. These arrangements are made on a case-by-case basis, and can be discussed during your initial interview with your prospective doula.
A percentage of all client fees goes into supporting this Access Fund to ensure ongoing available funds.
