Beneficiaries
Services at the Juneau Family Birth Center are available to all families in Juneau and Southeast Alaska, where ever they choose to give birth or receive healthcare. Our classes, education and support are appropriate for all families and geared to meet the individual needs of each family, woman, and child. Healthcare services are offered on a sliding scale and no one will be denied services for inability to pay.
Timeline & Cost
- Total construction and start-up costs are $3.9 million. We are working hard to keep the administrative costs of this campaign under 8%. Contributors to this project can be assured that the majority of the money contributed will go towards construction and start-up of a new facility. Funders of the project include $550,000 from the Rasmuson Foundation, $450,000 from the Alaska State legislature, $70,000 from the City & Borough of Juneau, $1,246,756 from the Denali Commission, $50,000 from the Alaska Mental Health Trust, $10,000 from the Skaggs Foundation, $297,600 federal HUD appropriation, $200,000 from the Murdock Charitable Trust, $100,000 from the Paul Allen Foundation, $10,000 from the Wells Fargo Foundation, and over $100,000 from local businesses and individuals.
- The Center is currently under construction, and we hope to open in the summer of 2008.
