Are you ready to help change the face of Midwifery in Nebraska? Awesome! Here are some things your donation dollars do...and don't do!

NFOM does: 
-Provide midwifery education and raise public awareness through this website, film showings, and community events, including fairs, classes, and meetings
-Hold M&M (Mothers & Midwives) days and legislative days at the capitol
-Work to educate senators and staff on the subjects of midwifery care and home birth
-Pursue legislative change by drafting legislation, seeking bill sponsors, speaking at hearings
-Work to provide information to and connection opportunities for midwifery supporters in this state
-Organize larger-scale events, such as Bridge The Gap events and annual member meetings
-Fundraise to further education and understanding of midwifery in Nebraska
-Partner with other organizations to advance mutually beneficial efforts

 NFOM does not:
-Provide legal or medical advice
-Tell women where, how, or with whom they should give birth
-Introduce legislation- that must be done by senators
-Endorse or campaign for political candidates
-Charge money for events or goods (except products that directly promote the organization)
-Take positions on issues outside midwifery care. This includes but is not necessarily limited to refraining from stands on infant feeding, parenting styles, circumcision, vaccines, family planning, and nutrition. 
-Pay any staff. NFOM is a completely volunteer organization at this time.
