Our primary fundraiser this year will be an online auction held November 23-29, 2020, a great time for holiday shopping!

We need to replace funds we lost due to the cancellation of this year’s Baltimore Birth Festival. These funds are needed to pay our lobbyist, who is helping us propose a VBAC (vaginal birth after cesarean) access bill in the upcoming legislative session to expand the scope of practice for CPMs so that women with a prior cesarean birth would be able to access CPM care.  This is the norm in the majority of the states where CPMs are licensed.

We are thrilled to offer this auction, full of amazing items, to you.  We’d like to say a huge thank you to all of our donors, and to each and every one of our supporters.  Without your involvement, both in our lobby days and rallies and financially, we would not be able to continue our work.  You can now view the 40+ auction items and get ready to place your bids!

For anyone still wishing to donate items for the auction, our target audience includes pregnant individuals and families with young children, but items or services donated can appeal to anyone, as we are spreading the word widely to reach many bidders! Donations must be stand-alone goods or services that do not require a purchase. (No discounts or coupons only, please.) We request services be redeemable for 1 year from the winning bid date. Donations are *not* tax deductible, as we are a 501(c)(4).  Please complete the donor sign-up form to let us know how you can help.
