Tulsa's FIRST Black Birth Collective
Payment Services
Hiring a doula is an investment in a safer, more supported, and more
memorable birth experience—but sometimes budget can be a barrier. The good news? There are creative and community-based ways to make doula care more accessible.
Support to Your Gift List
Skip the baby clothes and gadgets—ask for something that truly supports your
journey.
Include your doula’s payment link
registry or invite to your registry
Use a message like:
“In lieu of gifts, help us invest in a supported birth. Contribute to our doula
fund here:
[Insert Payment Link].”
Doula Gift Cards for Baby Shower or Gender Reveal
Ask for contributions toward doula services instead of traditional gifts.
Create or request custom cards that say “Helping us bring baby into the world
with
love—Thank you for supporting our doula!”
Your doula will have shareable payment options. Include them in
invites, envelopes, or decor.
Use Online Fundraising Tools
Set up a
GoFundMe,
Honeyfund, or
BeHerVillage
profile focused on funding birth and
postpartum care.
Share the story of why doula support matters to you—it inspires people to give with purpose.
Let Loved Ones “Sponsor a Service"
Break down the cost of doula support and let people sponsor parts:
Prenatal visit – $XX
Birth attendance – $XX
Postpartum visit – $XX
Herbal bath or yoni steam – $XX
This approach gives people a tangible way to support your care
Sweat Equity
Exchange a little work for services examples:
Photo and videos for our future classes and marketing. Photos and videos tastefully done and you have the option to blur your face.
Model for our photos and videos, birth positions, and postpartum sessions and other special events.
Help set up materials for classes
Payment Plans
Talk with your doula to create a payment plan that will fit you budget.
