Overview

Mission

Spreading black joy and culture to every corner of Oregon.

What it reported doing in 2024

Oha - health equity - the program provides grant-funded certification for 4 doulas from diverse backgrounds (people of color and/or lgbtqia+), enabling them to offer labor, postpartum, and abortion services at no cost. It also covers full doula services for over 20 families.

Operating model

Revenue model
Grant-funded. 90% of the money available for current operations came from government grants.
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 - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. A relatively small share of voting board members are independent and some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
