Overview

Mission

Nurture the parent-child relationship through experience and specialized care of fragile infants, toddlers, and their families.

What it reported doing in 2025

Nurturing newborns provides specialized, in-home respite care to families caring for an infant or toddler with delays, disabilities, serious illness or issues from prematurity.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 100% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
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 - The filed numbers largely add up and a large share of available resources goes toward mission work. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised.
