CVD Silver Seal of Transparency: What It Means for Our Community

We are proud to announce that Chicago Volunteer Doulas has earned the CVD Silver Seal of Transparency from Candid for 2026 — a recognition that affirms our commitment to openness, accountability, and measurable impact.

Transparency isn’t just a badge for us. It’s a value.

Earning the Silver Seal means we have publicly shared detailed information about our programs, leadership, finances, and measurable outcomes so that donors, partners, and families can clearly see how we operate and how resources are used. Through our Candid profile, supporters have full access to our organizational data, including leadership structure, mission focus, and financial summary.

This Seal matters because CVDoulas serve families who deserve trust. We provide:

• Traditional labor support

• Postpartum doula care

• Community-rooted training through 100 Doulas Rising

• Culturally responsive, trauma-informed birth support in communities historically impacted by inequity

Transparency builds trust. Trust builds sustainability. Sustainability builds justice. If you believe in Black Birth Justice, reproductive rights, and community-rooted care, now is the time to act.
