Nashira Baril (Neighborhood Birth Center)
Nashira Baril (she/her) leads the effort to open Boston’s first community birth center. She is a public health practitioner who has given birth at home with midwives twice and believes everyone in Greater Boston should have access to safe, empowering care in pregnancy and childbirth. Neighborhood Birth Center will create a sanctuary-like space for midwifery care that is covered by insurance and with a focus on safety. She lives in Mattapan with her family.
Notice to our Supporters
Community Works has closed our doors as of July 31, 2021.
Thank you very much for your support over the years.
Community Works has a proud and long history. Founded in 1982, for nearly 40 years Community Works has raised the visibility of Massachusetts organizations committed to social, economic, environmental, and racial justice. Over its history Community Works has distributed donor contributions to dozens of ground-breaking organizations throughout the Commonwealth. We are proud to say that many of the fledgling organizations we supported in our early days are now successful and have improved the quality of life for thousands of people.
The nature of payroll-deduction fundraising has changed to the degree that the business model of operating a federated fundraising collaboration is no longer viable.
Please continue supporting our members through your direct gifts.
Community Works is Massachusetts’ only social justice network participating as a federation in workplace fundraising campaigns.
Founded in 1982, CW has operated for nearly 40 years
We are a network of 12 active social justice organizations.
We Invest in Your Community
Since 1982, Community Works worked to provide funding for change through payroll deduction campaigns in Greater Boston and across Massachusetts.
