			How do I apply for a grant?
			Thank you for your interest in applying for a PBF grant. We are currently not accepting grant applications. Please add your email on the homepage under apply for a grant to be updated when our applications are open. However, please check back in Summer 2023. We look forward to supporting you.


			Who should apply for a PBF grant?
			Black women and black pregnant people inside the greater Philadelphia area who are planning a home birth and are in need of financial services to support a safe and healthy pregnancy, birth, and postpartum period.


			What is the PBF service area?
			Philadelphia Birth Fund provides home birth grants to families in the Greater Philadelphia area. Our service area includes all areas serviced by our accepting midwives as follows:

			Inner Circle Midwifery: Philadelphia, Montgomery, and Delaware County

			Baraka Birth: Northeast Philly and locations within 40 minutes from Hamiliton, NJ

			Magpi Midwifery: Philadelphia, Delaware, Chester, Montgomery County and locations with 45 minutes of 19063

			Refuge Midwifery: Philadelphia County Magpi Midwifery, and Baraka midwifery.


			What does a PBF grant cover?
			PBF homebirth grants are used to offset a portion of the homebirth midwife’s fee. The money is sent to the midwife when you are awarded a PBF grant. You and the midwife figure out a payment plan for the rest of the cost. As a PBF recipient there is the possibility to apply for additional funds to help cover additional services related to your birth and postpartum such as lactation consultants, postpartum care, childbirth education classes, etc.


			How do I use the funds from a grant?
			The grant is provided to a PBF midwife on your behalf to help cover the services of the homebirth midwife. Grants are not given directly to families;. Reimbursement for additional funds like home birth supplies, childbirth education classes, etc., can be discussed in a case by case basis. Please email us if you have already received a PBF grant and are in need of additional funds.


			What is a normal grant amount?
			The large majority of our recipients come to us to “fill the gap” by applying for the PBF Grant. Homebirth fees in our area range from $5,500 to $7,500. PBF Grants are usually between $800 and $2,500. Some midwives will lower their fees for PBF recipients based on income or other considerations. For example, a midwife may normally have a fee of $7,000. If they lower their fee to $5,000, PBF pays $2,500 and the recipient pays $2,500. Many midwives have payment plans available for homebirth services.
