AABC Foundation supports the advancement of the AABC birth center model across the U.S. Learn more, get involved, and support our work.

We raise funds for education, scholarships, & research to strengthen birth center care & expand access for families. The birth center is a homelike facility, operating with a health care system. Our mission is to provide membership, training, standards, and most importantly support this birthing option. Birth Centers are based on the wellness model of pregnancy and birth. Birth centers are guided by principles of prevention of complication, sensitivity to the needs of the individual family, safety for both mother and baby, appropriate use of medical intervention, and cost effective care. Birth centers provide family-centered care for healthy women before, during, and after normal pregnancy, labor, and birth. As a Foundation, we seek to support the birth center model in the United States by raising funds to support Birth Center accreditation, midwifery training, attendance at "how to start a birth center" workshops, and accessibility to Birth Centers.

We’re delighted to welcome the Harnisch Foundation as our Spotlight Sponsor for the 2026 Moonlit Masquerade!

Through their Funny Girls program, the Harnisch Foundation helps girls and gender-expansive kids build confidence, creativity, collaboration, empathy, and- most importantly- the confidence to use their voices.

That’s something we know a lot about at the AABC Foundation.

Birth centers are built around the belief that people deserve a voice in their own care; they create space for families to ask questions, make informed choices, trust their own instincts, and be active participants in one of life’s biggest experiences.

Whether it’s a young person finding their voice through improv or a family finding their voice in the birth room, empowerment matters.

We’re grateful to the Harnisch Foundation for supporting a future where more people are encouraged to speak up, take up space, and lead.

Thank you for helping us grow more birth centers and serve more families!

We are almost at the finish line for Spring It On! and we want to take a moment to thank our amazing community.

Together, this incredible community didn’t just complete Spring It On!, you showed up for one another and for birth centers across the country.

At the heart of this year’s theme, Meet Me at the Crossroads, was the idea that when we come together, powerful things happen and this community proved that every single day.

And none of this would have been possible without the generous support of our sponsors. Their commitment helps fuel this movement and expand access to respectful, evidence-based birth center care.

A heartfelt thank you to our sponsors:

We’re proud to spotlight our Spring It On! Champion Sponsor, The Harnisch Foundation.
At the heart of the Harnisch Foundation’s work is a deep belief in the power of storytelling to shape a more just and equitable world. Through their Funny Girls program, they’re investing in the next generation of bold, creative leaders, helping girls harness humor, confidence, and voice to challenge norms and imagine new possibilities.
That same spirit of transformation is what drives the AABC Foundation. Because when families have access to safe, inclusive, midwife-led birth center care, it doesn’t just change one birth story; it changes futures. It creates a world where more people are empowered from the very beginning.
We’re so grateful to partner with an organization that believes in rewriting narratives and expanding what’s possible: for girls, for families, and for generations to come.
