RMBF Pledge Drive

Our birth fund has truly grown from a concept to a working entity and we're very proud of the progress thus far. We've received several applications over the past few months. This indicates that the word about the fund has reached the home birthing community and that there is an expressed need for financial assistance. Reading families personal stories is very moving and it has motivated us to work diligently to expand the fund.

We are challenging Friends of the Rising Moon Birth Fund to make a commitment to the home birthing community by raising funds for the Rising Moon Birth Fund. Our goal is to gain the commitment of 25 people to raise $100 each. With a small group of volunteers and some creative fundraising we believe that we'll be able to increase the size of the fund tremendously. For more information and access to the pledge sheet and fundraising ideas, please click here.

The Rising Moon Birth Fund would like to extend its sincere appreciation to the following people for meeting our challenge.
