Our 2025 Mid-Year Donor Report: Partnership, Momentum, and a New Foundation

NACPM is excited to share our 2025 Mid-Year Donor Report—a look at what supporters helped make possible in the first six months of this year. The short version: we deepened collaboration across the field and built the infrastructure to sustain it.

What’s new—and why it matters

This spring, NACPM expanded community-rooted partnerships and received awards from the Skyline Foundation, Wagner Foundation, Pritzker Children’s Initiative, Oregon State University Foundation, and Johns Hopkins University. These investments are fueling collaborative work with key allies, including:

Together, these relationships help us advance an equitable, integrated, midwifery-focused perinatal system—one that centers community birth, accountability, and access.

A new philanthropic engine: NFCPM

This year we also established our sister organization, the National Foundation for Certified Professional Midwives (NFCPM)—a dedicated platform to grow charitable investment and sustain long-term impact. The Foundation is designed to:

  • Grow philanthropic investment for CPMs and CPM allies

  • Sustain scholarship, research, and systems-integration projects

  • Accelerate equity-focused workforce development for CPMs

Working in tandem, NACPM (the CPM professional association) and NFCPM (a charitable foundation dedicated to CPMs) give this movement both the advocacy strength and the philanthropic capacity needed to scale.
