Funds in Action
Research
Funding of research, and specifically the AABC Pernatal Data Registry (PDR), has been a priority of the AABC Foundation from the start. Read about the ways that the AABC Foundation supports research and new evidence by visiting our Research Funding page.
Scholarships & Grants
Since 2004, the AABC Foundation has awarded 63 Lisa Ross Memorial Scholarships, and 38 Amy Ellen Polk Scholarships since 2013.
The AABC Foundation has awarded 120 Membership Support Grants since 2009 and 58 Accreditation Support Grants since 2014.
The AABC Foundation is proud to have been able to support students, midwives, administrative professionals, entrepreneurs, and more to develop their birth centers and serve their communities.
Fiscal Sponsorship
The AABC Foundation provides fiscal sponsorship for projects that fulfill the mission of the Foundation. Fiscal sponsorship is a formal arrangement in which a 501(c)(3) public charity sponsors a project that may yet lack exempt status.
The Foundation currently acts as a fiscal sponsor for the AABC's Diversity & Inclusion Scholarship, Boulder Birth & Holistic Health (Boulder, CO) and Radiant Wellness & Birth Center (Rochester, NY).
