How we work

We’re bringing the village back.

Through financial aid for organizations, scholarships for aspiring doulas, and funding for research, we strengthen the network of care during life’s greatest transitions.

Every family deserves support—we all need someone in our corner.

At the Global Doula Project, we’re ensuring that compassionate, professional doula care becomes a fundamental part of modern society. By helping one family at a time, empowering local doula organizations, sharing their stories, funding research, and advocating for change, we’re creating a world where social support is both valued and accessible to everyone.

Our funding criteria

We provide grants to doula organizations that:

  • Share our values of community, sustainability and justice;

  • Focus on birth, postpartum, bereavement, or death doula care; and

  • Aspire to expand their work to support as many families and communities as possible.

More than money

We believe support goes beyond finances. We empower doulas by investing in studies and research, providing trainings, and making connections within our community.
