Foundation Programs

Lotus of Lakota Maternal Wellness Foundation supports programs that advance maternal wellness, birth equity, education, and culturally responsive care for women and families. Our work focuses on expanding access, strengthening the maternal health workforce, and building long-term support systems that help women, babies, and families thrive.

Maternal Care Access Scholarships

We provide financial assistance to help women access midwifery care, doula support, and other maternal wellness services when cost would otherwise be a barrier. These scholarships are intended to help more women receive compassionate, supportive care throughout pregnancy, birth, and postpartum.

Maternal Health Workforce Scholarships

We support students and trainees pursuing careers in maternal health, including future OB-GYN physicians, Certified Nurse Midwives, doulas, and other birth professionals. By investing in the next generation of providers, we aim to help grow a stronger, more diverse, and more community-centered maternal health workforce.

Midwifery Education and Training Development

We are committed to building long-term pathways for maternal health education and workforce development. This includes supporting future training initiatives, professional development opportunities, and the long-term vision of developing community-based midwifery education programs that expand access to skilled, culturally responsive care.

Family Stabilization and Support Services

We recognize that maternal wellness is deeply connected to everyday stability. Our Foundation aims to support women and families with resources related to housing, employment readiness, postpartum essentials, and other basic needs that can affect health, healing, and family well-being.

Charitable Assistance for Underserved Families

We aim to reduce barriers to care by supporting families who may need help accessing maternal wellness services, educational resources, community-based support, and essential assistance related to pregnancy, postpartum recovery, and family stability.

Community Maternal Wellness Initiatives

We support community-based programs that promote maternal wellness education, birth equity, culturally responsive care, and stronger support systems for women and families. Through outreach, partnerships, and mission-driven initiatives, we aim to help create healthier and more supported communities.

At Lotus of Lakota Maternal Wellness Foundation, we believe maternal wellness support should extend beyond birth alone. Our vision is to help create a future where women and families have greater access to care, education, opportunity, and the resources they need to thrive.
