​
SDLEA is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization that relies heavily on donations from our friends, clients, and local community members.
​
-
A donation of $125 - 165 will help subsidize one private chest/breastfeeding consultation for a BIPOC or low-income family.
-
A donation of $300 will help subsidize one full day of salary for a BIPOC lactation consultant in one of our clinics.
-
A donation of $1,500 will help sustain our lactation scholarship program for the year!
In addition to your personal donation, consider asking if your place of employment offers matching gifts to charitable organizations.
Help us connect with the charitable giving department in your business or organization, to see if they would be interested in donating a large sum to improve the health and wellbeing of our local families.

“I am so grateful to have received a scholarship to pay for expenses associated with my clinical hours for my IBCLC program. Without the financial help of the scholarship, would not be a reality in this time of me and my family's lives.”
Our Why
We have a simple yet powerful mission to ensure that no family, regardless of their race, gender or class status, would miss out on the support they needed from lactation consultants.
Your Why
Thanks to your support, thousands of families have received the nurturing lactation care they need without financial barriers. Imagine all those little ones getting the best possible start—this is the difference you make.
Impact
In the past 2 years alone, we have provided over 1,800 lactation consultations to low income and BIPOC families in San Diego county. We have granted over $25,000 in scholarship funds to over 20 BIPOC aspiring lactation professionals to support education and clinical hours.
Future
Focusing on San Diego's "first foods deserts” to ensure every family has the resources they need for infant feeding success.
