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.

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.
