Overview

Mission

To improve birthing care in Minnesota by partnering with over 80 organizations to ensure all families receive the best care before, during, and after pregnancy.

What it reported doing in 2025

Provide quality improvement training, content education and TA in a number of formats including monthly meetings and an annual summit that provides an all teach, all learn opportunity for education, resources, and expertise sharing with a space to make connections across disciplines, hospitals, and statewide geography to work to improve perinatal health outcomes and experiences for Minnesota families.

Operating model

Revenue model
Grant-funded. 87% 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.

The verdict

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised and expenses are high relative to revenue.
