Ways to Support WHMS

Welcome Home Midwifery Services, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization offering perinatal education and support to individuals and families through the implementation of community-based trainings, outreach, and affordable health services in the greater Sacramento area and beyond. These services include midwifery care, birth doula services, and education for childbirth professionals.

WHMS is run by an all-volunteer Board of Directors and is staffed largely by volunteer providers. Our organization is not currently supported by grant funding, though we hope to be in the future.  We volunteer because we are passionate about serving our community and increasing the number of skilled midwives and doulas available to our region.

If you have been positively impacted by our midwives, doulas, or other education services, please consider making a donation to Welcome Home Midwifery Services so that we may continue serving as many people as possible in our community. Any donation, large or small, helps to keep WHMS available for any individual who seeks out our services.

​Below you will find just some of the ways you can support our community-run organization.

Buy or Sell on eBay

Support Welcome Home Midwifery Services, Inc. when you shop or sell on eBay, through eBay for Charity.

• Make us your Favorite. First, personalize your shopping experience to benefit our organization by making us your Favorite charity on eBay. This will help us more than you know.
• Donate to WHMS in eBay Checkout. By making us your Favorite, you will automatically see Welcome Home Midwifery Services, Inc. as your preferred charity when you buy anything on eBay, making it easy to add $1 or more upon checkout.
• Sell items to benefit WHMS. Last but not least, help us instead of a thrift store: sell your used items on eBay and donate as little as 10% (1% for vehicles) or up to 100% of your sale to benefit us. When you sell, simply look for the eBay for Charity signature blue and yellow ribbon next to “Make a donation.” Check out the benefits you’ll receive:
  • eBay will waive your Final Value Fees to the extent you donate. (e.g. donate 20% and see 20% of your Final Value Fees waived)
  • The tax credit from all of your donations is yours to keep.
  • Items that benefit charity sell better, as buyers trust sellers that support charity more.
  • Help the world by upcycling/recycling. Plenty of items that might otherwise end up in a landfill can be readily used by others that may not have the means to buy something new.
  • Feel good for supporting community birth and midwifery education in Sacramento and San Joaquin Counties.
• Sell your used vehicle to benefit WHMS. Unlike other charity auto programs, you can sell your used vehicle on eBay and donate up to 100% to benefit Welcome Home Midwifery Services, Inc.. This often can result in a larger donation than the $500 or less you may receive from a dedicated charity auto program. Sell and donate the proceeds today.
