Overview

Mission

Nurturings mission is to educate and support all parents in raising secure, joyful, and empathic children in order to strengthen families and create a more compassionate world.

What it reported doing in 2025

Family-based services - with help from our partners and over 60 local, grassroots, parent groups, we connect our 14,000 subscribers and many more web visitors with free and low-fee parenting information and support that promotes strong, healthy parent-child relationships for child and family flourishing. Our goal is to share the essential parenting skills that help children regulate in healthy ways so they're ready to learn, make friends, form caring relationships with others, navigate conflicts, confidently enlist help when they need it and reduce the negative impacts of adverse experiences.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 76% 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. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and a relatively small share of total spending goes to programs.
