Overview

Mission

To support those daily that have experienced infertility, pregnancy, and infant loss by providing trauma informed care and resources in a safe environment.

What it reported doing in 2025

Hospital Outreach and Educational Awareness Chasing the Rainbows conducts outreach to hospitals, OB/GYN departments, maternal-fetal medicine specialists, NICUs, and fertility clinics to build partnerships that increase awareness of the emotional and mental health impact of infertility and pregnancy and infant loss. Through these partnerships, healthcare providers are able to connect patients and families with free support resources offered by the organization. The organization also produces educational podcast content featuring physicians, mental health professionals, and individuals with lived experience to raise awareness, provide evidence-based information, and expand access to education and support for families and healthcare providers nationwide.

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 100% 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

MIXED - The filed numbers largely add up and revenue has grown recently. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and a relatively small share of voting board members are independent.
