The Bigger Table Fund

NACPM's Bigger Table Fund supports a diverse CPM workforce by offering financial assistance to student midwives of color, Indigenous, and LGBTQIA2S+ individuals. The fund covers the NARM examination fee, retest fees, and one-time state licensing fees, aiming to eliminate financial barriers hindering entry into the CPM profession.

With a commitment to addressing limited access for people of color and enhancing diversity in the midwifery workforce, NACPM responds to community requests and feedback. Quarterly distributions of $3,000 occur through a lottery system, with a maximum individual award of $1,000.

The  Relocation Support Grant for Certified Professional Midwives (CPM)/ Certified Midwives (CM)

The Relocation Support Grant assists Certified Professional Midwives (CPMs) or Certified Midwives (CMs) who have relocated due to their spouse's or domestic partner's military orders for a Permanent Change of Station (PCS). Designed to alleviate financial burdens associated with re-licensing, the grant covers actual costs for obtaining a midwifery license in the new state, including application and examination fees. Eligibility requires proof of PCS orders, and the grant amount, not exceeding $500 per person per PCS, varies based on state-specific licensing fees.

Tanya Khemet Taiwo Midwifery Student Scholarship Fund

NACPM is committed to fostering diversity in the CPM workforce and addressing limited access to care for Black and Indigenous communities. The Tanya Khemet Taiwo Midwifery Student Scholarship Fund, launched in 2022, honors Dr. Taiwo's legacy and aims to increase the number of Black and Indigenous midwives.

This fund supports second and third-year Black and Indigenous midwifery students in MEAC-accredited programs, providing financial aid for tuition and related educational expenses. The application deadline is December 10th, 2023. To apply, submit proof of enrollment, academic standing, and an essay addressing steps or initiatives to enhance CPMs' capacity to serve a more diverse population.
