Support Birth Equity. Uplift Families. Strengthen Communities.
At Roots on the Ground, we believe that birthing people and their families deserve dignity, safety, and culturally-affirming support, regardless of their background or circumstance. Our work is only possible through the power of community partnerships, generous donors, and compassionate collaborators like you.
Whether you're a healthcare provider, nonprofit, business, or individual who believes in equity in birth and beyond, there are many ways to get involved and make a lasting impact in the San Francisco Bay Area.
**Ways to Support Birth Equity**
**Become a Sustaining Donor**
Join our Perinatal Pals monthly giving program and become a part of the Roots on the Ground family. Monthly donations allow us to provide consistent, ongoing support to the families we serve, especially during the most vulnerable stages of pregnancy and postpartum. Every dollar helps us stay grounded in service.
**Donate Stock**
Make a lasting contribution through gifts of appreciated stock or securities. Stock donations can offer tax benefits to you while allowing us to build long-term stability. Connect with our Development Team to get started.
