The journey to parenthood is a fundamental human experience, but access to high-quality care shouldn’t be a privilege.

by offering free and low-cost support for families during pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. Through our programs—including the transformative Community Doula Network—we strengthen communities, uplift families, and relentlessly expand access to compassionate, whole-person care.

OUR COMMITMENT

Building a Legacy of Support, One Family at a Time.

At M.A.M.A. Community Foundation, we believe that every family deserves continuous, expert care.
Our dual-focus model allows us to provide hands-on support locally while expanding essential education nationally.

Our commitment is defined by these core objectives, guiding our work:

Education & Care

We provide free childbirth education and accessible birth doula services, removing financial barriers to ensure every family has the information and support needed for a safe delivery and a supported immediate postpartum transition.

Community & Collective Healing

Through our Community Baby Showers, M.A.M.A. Meetups, and other collective gatherings, we foster emotional resilience and joy while breaking the isolation often caused by systemic neglect.

Influence & Advocacy

We turn birth experiences into an organizing force for birth justice, empowering families to lead the solutions that hold healthcare institutions accountable.

OUR LEADER

Hey Mamas, I’m Dominique! I’m a proud mom of three, a certified childbirth educator, and a doula. I founded the M.A.M.A. Community Foundation because I believe that safe, culturally affirming care shouldn’t be a privilege; it’s a human right.

My vision is to transform the way our community experiences birth. By leading our dedicated team of volunteers and Board Members, I work to provide accessible support that removes financial barriers and centers the voices of those most affected by maternal health inequities. Together, we are building a movement for birth justice, ensuring every family has the information, advocacy tools, and community restoration they need to thrive.

OUR CARE

"My doula made me feel more happy when I gave birth. Even now, as far as how everything happened, [my doula] was the best part of my birth experience other than having the baby. There were a lot of things out of our control, but she made it so that going through everything was easy and calm. It really helped out—I still try to keep in touch with her."

First-Time Mom

"My doula was very well informed, and I wasn’t aware of many things such as my patient rights."

Mom of 2

"It helped because you don’t know a lot, especially if it is your first child. The doula explains it and it helps you understand and get ready for the unexpected."

First-Time Mom

"[Having a doula] helped in a positive way. The hospital staff was not the nicest, and the doula helped with that by speaking to the supervisor at the time."
