Overview
Mission
In our own voice: national black women's reproductive justice agenda is national state organization designed to amplify and lift up the voices of black women at the national, regional and state levels in our ongoing fight to secure reproductive justice for black women and girls.
What it reported doing in 2024
Education and outreach: identifies black health care professionals, students, and academic and community leaders from numerous states who serve as national and state spokespeople on our issues. These women receive ongoing media and messaging training and serve as resources within their communities to promote policy and cultural change at the local, state, regional and national levels through advocacy, narrative shifting, community mobilization, and movement building. Additionally, we designed the "next generation leadership institute", working with students at historically black colleges and universities (hbcus) to develop their leadership skills and provide them with training in advocacy, community organizing, and media readiness.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Donor-supported. 97% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
- Distribution model
- Hybrid. The nonprofit split its reported program spending across 80% for direct work, and 20% for grants.
The verdict
SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Few specific pay-setting methods are documented in the filing; unanswered boxes are not proof of absence and expenses are high relative to revenue.
