At Tandem, we serve all regardless of ability to pay.

Having robust postpartum support is a necessity, not a luxury. Many new families are isolated from support networks. A postpartum doula can help bridge this gap. With their unique training, they are able to allow new parents to focus on bonding with their new baby and healing physically while feeling supported with household logistics and emotional support.

Thanks to our 2023 Persisterhood Workshop Grant, we were able to provide 125.5 hours of free and reduced cost postpartum doula services in our community using a sliding scale fee program.

Thank you to the 100+ Women Who Care for funding our 2024 services! As of May 1st, we’ve already provided over 200 hours of free and reduced cost services.

From a Postpartum Doula Equity Program Participant:

My childrens’ lives are undoubtedly better with a supported mother not fighting depression, not fatigued from housework, or overwhelmed from lack of time for basic self care. My babies got a better start to life with a mother who has had the opportunity to heal. My doula is the reason my children, my family, and I am okay right now. And maybe the reason I may one day reach my own goal of being financially stable enough to give the gift of a postpartum doula to another child's mommy. But right now, it's you all who are in the position to affect your community in such a powerful way, and I sure hope you see how choosing to do so literally saves lives.
