Elephant Circle

“The 990 is emailed to all board members prior to filing with the irs.”

“Board members are asked regularly if any potential conflicts exist. When a potential conflict is brought to the attention of the board, it is discussed, and the member with a conflict recuses themselves from any votes on the matter.”

“Governing and financial documents are available upon request.”

“Inspired by elephants who give birth within a circle of support, we envision a world where all people have a circle of support for their entire perinatal period. Birth justice occurs when everyone is equally capable of self-determination during the perinatal period, when their self- determination is supported and amplified.”

“The organizations elephant circle is helping to thrive through fiscal sponsorship are as follows: the birth rights bar association (brba) - a resource with the goal of affirming and advocating for the human rights of pregnant people in the united states, as well as to provide some concrete tools for pregnant people, doulas, partners, family members, and friends. Queer and transgender midwives association (qtma) - a resource created for midwives and student midwives who identify as lgbtqia2s+. Qtma is dedicated to supporting and representing lgbtqia2s+ midwives and student midwives as they train and grow as providers and people. They also provide educational opportunities, advocacy, community and tools, all grounded in an intersectional ideology and framework. The birth future foundation (bff) - founded in 2020 by a collective of activists who are revolutionizing philanthropy and grantmaking to realize a liberated birth future. A mother's choice (amc) - this midwifery practice is building colorado's first black owned birth center creating a safe space that honors that essence of black birth experiences. Amc is committed to maintaining and implementing evidence informed practice, ensure community needs and standards remain the priority in practice, and create and build community relations with integrated healthcare systems. Funders for birth equity and justice (fbje) - a collective of funders (individual, grantmaking, and public) working to advance a transformed and just birthing system focused on birth equity and justice. Seasons - a community-based birth center committed to the midwifery-led and birth center models of care.”
