Doula Spirit Fund Fee Waivers
DONA International is pleased to offer a limited number of conference registration fee waivers for DONA International members. The Spirit Fund was established many years ago to offer sponsorships for doulas with financial needs to help with the expenses of attending our annual conference. The application cycle for 2025 is now open and will close June 15, 2025.
People from around the world contribute to this important fund in small and large amounts. Registrants can offer a contribution as part of their registration or can click here to contribute directly.
Additionally, we raise funds for the spirit fund in other ways. Our conference silent auction and our affiliate program with Office Depot raise funds that have been earmarked for the doula spirit fund by our Board of Directors.

This waiver was established using funds from sales of DONA Pride merchandise. 100% of the revenue from DONA Pride merchandise is used to fund this scholarship. The number of scholarships is dependent on available funds. The application cycle for 2025 is now open and will close June 15, 2025.
