Special consideration will be given to birth centers that demonstrate:

• A commitment to serving low income women and/or women on medical assistance
• In a rural or low-income area
• Annual gross revenues of less than $100,000
• A commitment to foster public education about birth centers

Eligible applicants are birth centers that have:

• AABC membership
• A demonstrated financial hardship to pay 100% of their accreditation fees
• A demonstrated capacity and a plan to complete the accreditation process with the intent to maintain accreditation
• Not received an Accreditation Support Grant in the last 3 years

The grant will cover up to 100% of the initial accreditation fee or an accredited birth center's annual fees.
