Overview

Mission

We are improving birthing outcomes through education.

What it reported doing in 2024

HOLISTIC DOULA PROGRAM This year we conducted 4-day Holistic Doula courses and 4-day Holistic Postpartum courses. We continued to provide scholarships this year for women who could not afford tuition. The goal is to educate and train women to be attendants and offer support to families during their birthing and post-partum time. Birth doulas work mainly in hospitals accompanying families and bringing comfort and reassurance to mothers during the birth process. They act as advocates for the wishes of the family. Doulas also work at home births with midwives, offering reassurance and assistance when needed. Post-partum doulas work with mothers and families after the birth by coming into the home and seeing to the needs of the family. Our doulas are trained to understand both the physiologic and psychologic needs of the post-partum mother and can observe what is normal and what is variation in the postpartum and help remedy any concerns with the mother or newborn. Our doulas do not practice medicine or midwifery and will seek medical help in light of any abnormalities in any aspect of the birthing realm. They do not make medical decisions or manage care.

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 100% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
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 - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Revenue has declined or grown slowly and expenses are high relative to revenue.
