Our Vision

Pilot-to-Policy

Abundant Birth Project (ABP) – first piloted in San Francisco, and now expanding to four additional counties in California – practices a pilot-to-policy model. We do not want our efforts to be limited to the duration of our pilots, and we are investigating several policy avenues to sustainably fund ABP as an ongoing offering to support pregnant people.

Through our multi-county expansion pilot, we plan to use the evidence gathered to expand the availability of pregnancy guaranteed income and establish a new model of care in the US that could support all parents to have the safe and joyful births they deserve.

We recognize that any attempt to scale up the number of beneficiaries will require a larger renewable source of funding, such as tax dollars, which can only be achieved through policy change. We are pursuing the feasibility of utilizing existing funding streams, and invite your partnership!

For Participants

ABP isn’t just a program – it is a community! We have a Storytelling Pool for our participants who are interested in sharing their stories and contributing to narrative change around guaranteed income to improve health and birth outcomes. We also have a Policy Pool for our participants to engage in advocacy for policy change.

If you are a participant and would like to join either of these efforts, don’t hesitate to contact us at info@abundantbirthproject.org or ask your Abundance Coach for more information!

For Providers

Social service and health providers are also a key part of the ABP community. Contact us if you would like to find ways to partner. If you have any resources you would like us to share with ABP mamas in any of our participating counties, please email us at info@abundantbirthproject.org.

For Funders

We could not do this work without the support of our generous funders. We are working hard to fully fund the expansion. You can learn more about our fundraising efforts and goals here. Please contact us at info@abundantbirthproject.org if you are interested in supporting our work!
