Overview

Mission

To remove financial barriers to accessing the IBCLC credential by fostering inclusiveness, promoting philanthropy, and increasing public awareness of the value of the IBCLE.

What it reported doing in 2024

Scholarship Program: Monetary Investment for Lactation Consultant Certification (MILCC) maintains multiple scholarship programs to provide financial assistance to qualified candidates seeking International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC ) certification, and current IBCLCs applying for recertification. The IBLCE exam is administered by the International Board of Lactation Consultant Examiners (IBLCE), in multiple countries around the world, and in a variety of languages. The number of candidates supported each year depends on the availability of funds, which come from donations and fundraising. Assistance is available to candidates who demonstrate financial need, and priority is given to those who work with underserved families. Successful applicants are awarded a full or partial scholarship.

Operating model

Revenue model
Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
Distribution model
Grant intermediary. The nonprofit sent 100% of its reported program spending out as grants.

The verdict

STRONG - The filed numbers largely add up and a large share of total spending goes to programs. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and reported officer compensation is a large share of total spending, which may reflect staffing concentration.
