About Central Texas Birth Fund
Our Story
Central Texas Birth Fund (CTBF) was founded from a belief that healthy families and healthy communities begin with connection, support, and access to trusted resources.
As we listened to families, birth workers, and community members, we recognized that lasting change requires more than addressing immediate needs. It requires building relationships, strengthening leadership, and creating opportunities for communities to shape solutions together.
Today, CTBF is evolving into a community-rooted organization focused on maternal wellness, family well-being, and community connection across Central Texas.
Our Mission
We bring families, birth workers, and community partners together to strengthen maternal wellness, leadership, and community connection across Central Texas.
Our Vision
We envision Central Texas communities where families feel supported, residents help shape solutions, and every parent has access to trusted networks of care and connection.
Our Purpose
CTBF exists to strengthen maternal wellness and family well-being by building community connections, supporting resident leadership, and fostering partnerships that help families thrive.

How we fit within the Maternal Health System...
Improving maternal and family well-being requires collaboration. No single organization can meet every need, and lasting change happens when communities, providers, and local organizations work together.
Central Texas Birth Fund serves as a connector, convener, and community partner. We work alongside families, birth workers, healthcare providers, nonprofits, educators, and community leaders to strengthen relationships, increase access to trusted support, and help communities identify solutions that reflect their unique needs.
Our role is not to replace existing services. Our role is to help strengthen the connections between people, organizations, and resources that support healthier families and communities.
Our Commitment
We are committed to strengthening maternal wellness and family well-being through community connection, collaboration, and leadership. We believe lasting change happens when families, residents, and community partners work together to create solutions that reflect local needs and priorities.
Looking ahead...
As CTBF grows, we will continue building relationships, strengthening partnerships, and creating opportunities for maternal wellness, community engagement, and leadership development throughout Central Texas.
We look forward to working alongside families, birth workers, and community partners to support healthier, more connected communities for generations to come.
