Overview

Mission

To support a system of care that improves the health and well being of pregnant women and families by ensuring they can access the care, services and resources they need to enable them to thrive.

What it reported doing in 2024

The organization works to improve maternal and infant health outcomes by building a comprehensive system of care that ensures access to prenatal and infant medical services, as well as vital community resources. We support healthcare providers in conducting universal risk screenings for pregnant women and newborns, and we deliver targeted home visiting services to families identified as at risk for poor outcomes. Our nurse-supervised care coordination includes education on pregnancy, childbirth, infant care, and child development, along with evidence-based screenings for perinatal depression, substance use, domestic violence, and developmental milestones. We also provide outreach and support for breastfeeding, nutrition, hypertension, and fatherhood engagement.

Operating model

Revenue model
Grant-funded. 68% of the money available for current operations came from government grants.
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.
  • Includes noncash contributions: Reported contributions include donated property or goods.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and most voting board members are independent. Few specific pay-setting methods are documented in the filing; unanswered boxes are not proof of absence and expenses are high relative to revenue.
