How We Started

The Victoria Project (TVP) is a 501(c)3 non-profit public benefit corporation founded in September 2020 to increase access to midwifery-led maternity care.

With the goal of decreasing preventable maternal deaths in the US by investing in solutions, TVP has been providing direct grants to pregnant families, midwives and practitioners such as doulas, lactation consultants, child birth educators and pelvic floor therapists.

Where We Are Headed

In 2024 The Victoria Project teamed up with Elaine Welteroth and birthFUND!

Together our organizations are supporting families by expanding access to midwifery care across the United States.
