Overview

Mission

The organization's mission is to advocate for the needs of families experiencing the traumatic event of premature birth. We carry out this mission by providing education, support, resources, and a sense of community through outreach programs and parent-to-parent support.

What it reported doing in 2015

Hosted a parent and provider conference entitled, "navigating the journey through childhood". The conference objectives were aimed at educating people regarding maternal and child health needs. The conference included sessions on developmental delays, sensory processing disorders, postpartum post-traumatic stress, nutrition, medicaid waivers, and speech and language tips.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 96% 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 - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and program spending has declined or grown slowly.
