Overview
Mission
To provide social and emotional support for women in the perinatal period through informal home visits, educating new mothers, and hosting meetups to foster relationship development.
What it reported doing in 2025
The organization provides in-home postpartum support to mothers through trained doulas during the critical early weeks following childbirth. Services may include emotional support, basic newborn care guidance, and assistance with postpartum recovery.

During 2025, the organization provided 52 in-home postpartum visits.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Donor-supported. 100% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
- Distribution model
- Direct operator. The filing allocates 99% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.
The verdict
SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
