Willow Wish is a grant program seeking to make evidence-based care available to any family in Arizona through our two grant programs.  By raising funds that are then directed to families, Willow Wish is removing the inability to pay as a barrier to high-quality pregnancy and birthing options.

It is our belief that peaceful, evidence-based care should not be a privilege for those who can afford it. The kind of care that focuses on the individual person and honors them as a knowing participant in their pregnancy, labor and birth journey is the right of all birthing people.

The Birth Center Grant is for families who would choose an out-of-hospital setting, regardless of their ability to pay out-of-pocket. At this time, there are five accredited birth centers in Arizona: three in Phoenix, one in Mesa, and one in Tucson.

The Doula Care Grant is for families who need non-medical birthing support from certified doulas in any birth setting.  Wherever a family chooses to birth: a hospital, a birth center, or at home, the Doula Care Grant makes it possible for them to hire a doula to support their birth journey.

We are working to make it possible for anyone who is wishing to birth at an accredited free-standing birth center in Arizona to do so. If someone cannot afford to pay the facility fee at the place of their choice, then they can apply to the Willow Wish Grant Program to help make their birth center dream come true.

Willow Wish is a 501(c)3 Non-Profit organization.

If you would like to support our vision to provide evidence-based birth to families in Arizona who are wishing for a birth center birth and cannot afford the out-of-pocket cost, there are several ways to help. We thank you for your support of birth choice for Arizona’s birthing families.
