The Doula for Aboriginal Families Grant Program (DAFGP) is offered by The BC Association of Aboriginal Friendship Centres (BCAAFC). The goal of the program is to increase healthy birth outcomes for Indigenous families by removing the cost barrier to accessing Doula services.
The grant program provides Indigenous families living in BC up to $1200.00 of coverage for Doula services with each pregnancy.
