Maternal Wellness Center Registration

Under Act No. 437 of the 2023 Regular Legislative Session and applicable to income taxable periods beginning on or after January 1, 2025, donations made to eligible maternal wellness centers (MWCs) may be credited against the state income tax for the taxable year in which the donation is made. In addition to meeting other criteria, maternal wellness centers must be registered with the Louisiana Department of Health to be considered an eligible MWC.

MWCs should complete the steps outlined below to register:

  • Complete the contact information form and submit online.
  • Download and complete the affidavit form.
  • After filling out the affidavit form in its entirety, the form will need to be witnessed and notarized by a public notary, by an officer of the maternal wellness center.
  • Mail the completed and notarized form for processing to:

Louisiana Department of Health - Office on Women’s Health and Community Health
P.O. Box 629
Baton Rouge, LA 70821-0629

Applicants will be notified of their approved registration via email.

Registered MWCs are required to submit a sworn “renewal” affidavit to LDH for review and approval annually, on or before February 1 of each year, to remain on the registry.

For eligibility questions, please refer to Act No. 437.

Disclaimer:  LDH does not license maternal wellness centers nor evaluate the clinical services they provide.
