SAN FRANCISCO BIRTH CENTER FOUNDATION

San Francisco Birth Center Foundation (SFBC-F) is a donor-facing 501(c)(3) established to support and sustain midwife-led, community-centered birth care in the San Francisco Bay Area. The foundation’s work centers on expanding access to evidence-based, culturally responsive prenatal, birth, and postpartum services and strengthening the training pipeline for community midwives.

SFBC-F was founded in early 2023 as a philanthropic arm of the San Francisco Birth Center; the organization’s Tax ID/EIN (92-1315958) is published on the birth center and foundation web pages and is reflected in charity directory listings. The foundation was created to provide grants, subsidized care, and operational support so the birth center can continue serving families regardless of ability to pay.

In 2024–2025 the foundation moved from startup to operational sustainment: it completed the licensure process that enables the facility to bill payors and better serve Medi-Cal families, reported direct programmatic impact in 2025 (including dozens of families served and student midwives trained), and has been active in community outreach and fundraising to preserve San Francisco’s nonprofit, midwife-led birth center model.
