Our Partners
Be Her Village
Be Her Village is more than just gifts. We care deeply about maternal health. Our mission is to improve motherhood by creating access to funds for support services during pregnancy, birth, and the postpartum year. We believe that women need access to high quality care in order to improve health outcomes. With our gift registry we get funds directly in the hands of the women who need them. Our platform is a bridge between growing families and the service providers that support them.
We believe that mothers need to step into the spotlight. So we’ve created an innovative private-nonprofit partnership with Maternal Spotlight, a maternal health research and fundraising organization, to do just that. Together, Be Her Village and Maternal Spotlight will empower women and their communities by discussing examples of high quality maternal care and improving access to it.
Through our partnership, we have created a unique blog series, The Consequences of Producing Humans, to provide both access to services and the latest maternal research - all in one place.
The Nesting Place
A center created for moms, by moms, The Nesting Place is a supportive non-judgmental environment for Long Island moms to gather, share, and grow alongside one another and professionals who support them. The Nesting Place offers 1:1 support services, exercise and yoga classes including prenatal & postnatal, childbirth & baby preparation classes, support groups, mom, parenting & wellness workshops, and more. Through it’s signature Fourth Trimester Support Circle (TM), The Nesting Place offers ongoing 6 week support groups for moms with babies 0-5 months.
Long Island Doula Association (LIDA)
LIDA, Inc., is a not-for-profit organization made up of members who are passionate about supporting birthing families. Through LIDAs Community Support Fund (CSF) we provide doula support to families in crisis at little or no cost to those in need. LIDA also partners with two hospitals on Long Island to run a successful hospital based doula program.
SEREIN
Serein is interested in creating more awareness around maternal health topics in India.
Founder Ishani Roy explains, “Many of us would remember how apprehensive we were the first week back to work from maternity break, or how difficult it was to excel at work while navigating the unconscious biases that surround a new mother in the workplace. All this, while living up to society's expectations of gender, qualifications, and success. These instances affect some of us more than others, but we put on a mask and try to plough through it all.
In my experience of working with women (and men) who have faced biases - implicit or explicit - I see too many of them keeping quiet, too many of them suffering continuous mental agony and sadly too many of them not seeking help. Let us stand by each other while we navigate this much needed conversation on mental health and maternal well being.”
Serein is a team of scientists and sociologists who believe that data and science can overcome barriers to enabling diversity and inclusion in an organisation.
