Job Description

About Mindful Birthing & Parenting Foundation

Mindful Birthing & Parenting Foundation supports families and perinatal professionals with evidence-aligned mindfulness education for pregnancy, birth, and early parenting.

Role Overview

We are looking for a diverse group of 5-7 volunteer Board Members to help us transform a small nonprofit organization (~$225K annual budget; PT contract staff; limited programs) into a mid-sized nonprofit organization ($500K-5M annual budget; PT/FT salaried staff; expanded programs) to better reach and serve communities and global regions.

After years of service from some of our Founding Members — which have resulted in perinatal mindfulness training for tens of thousands of expectant parents, hundreds of perinatal and mental health professionals in 40+ countries, several national health services, and dozens of research studies over 20+ years — the MBPF now seeks to expand upon the knowledge, connections, skill sets, and backgrounds of those who are represented in our leadership.

Our intention is to create a dynamic, well-resourced, and sustainable structure to support perinatal mindfulness programs over the long-term, while also protecting the intimacy, heart, and integrity of the work as was originally envisioned by founder, Nancy Bardacke, CNM, in 1998.

What you’ll do

  • Provide strategic leadership and responsible governance
  • Support sustainability through fundraising, partnerships, and/or financial oversight
  • Serve on at least one committee (e.g., Governance, Finance, Fundraising, DEI/Global Engagement)
  • Act as an ambassador for Mindful Birthing in your networks

Expertise we’re seeking

We welcome candidates across a range of skills and perspectives, including:

  • Fundraising/philanthropy, partnerships, or corporate sponsorship
  • Legal/nonprofit compliance
  • Finance/accounting/audit
  • Research or program evaluation
  • Marketing/communications
  • Technology/digital strategy
  • Global health/international perspective
  • DEI, policy, or advocacy
  • HR/organizational development/governance

Requirements & expectations

  • Commitment to mission and ethical governance
  • Ability to attend monthly Zoom meetings (~90 minutes) and contribute between meetings
  • 3-year term , renewable up to two times (max 9 years )
  • Willingness to participate in fundraising/relationship-building aligned with your comfort and capacity

Recruitment timeline

  • Applications open: June – July 2026
  • Interviews & vetting: July – August 2026
  • Onboarding: August – September 2026
  • Board retreat/seating: October 2026
