Overview
Mission
Community conversations: sister to sister aims to: remove barriers to improved health outcomes in the black community by providing a forum for open and honest dialogue between key stakeholders. Empower community participants as they navigate the medical system in search for the highest quality care for themselves and their families.
What it reported doing in 2024
Community conversations: sister to sister, a womens health initiative, is an open forum to explore health issues of relevance to black women and their families. Startling disparities in morbidity, mortality, and access to high-quality healthcare for u.s. Black women are well-documented. To combat these disparities, we host monthly meetings in a local hair salon that bring together black women with a rotating multidisciplinary team of black women health professionals for informal and candid conversation. Having regular opportunities to meet with other black women to discuss health and practice health-related conversations can improve our participants' health and wellness experience. Through our efforts, we: - build a sense of community - address the legacy of mistrust between the black and medical communities to foster greater access to healthcare resources - consider the root causes of socioeconomic ills and provide solutions - prioritize womens health and promote self-care as an essential part of a womans role within the family.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Donor-supported. 97% 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
SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up and revenue comfortably covers expenses. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and reported officer compensation is a large share of total spending, which may reflect staffing concentration.
