Overview

Mission

Momcares serves under-supported mothers with neonatal intensive care unit (nicu) experiences in baltimore city by providing prenatal and postpartum doula care including transportation, advocacy, self-care opportunities, and nutritious meals to mothers and their families.

What it reported doing in 2024

Through the creation of a trained doula network, momcares provides practical support for birth and postpartum experiences and serves as a liaison between mothers and medical professionals. Momcares' high-risk doula care includes providing bedside support, facilitating clear communications between staff and moms surrounding interventions, addressing other mom needs, assisting with conversations around co-parenting, creating an emotional space for moms to unload, helping with lactation support, and coordinating transportation to or from the hospital whenever needed. To aid in workforce development, we train doulas in the community and partner with community organizations to offer doula training free of charge to the public. We strive to ensure that certifications prove fruitful for individuals interested in a career shift into birthwork. We make connections for individuals in need of a doula and other community organizations that are interested in supporting positive pregnancy outcomes. Momcares provides workshop and training opportunities to medical staff around implicit bias in the medical field and its implications for their patients.

Operating model

Revenue model
Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
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

MIXED - The filed numbers largely add up and most voting board members are independent. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and a relatively small share of total spending goes to programs.
