Overview

Mission

Ubuntu Black Family Wellness Collective is a free and charitable clinic and social safety net. Ubuntu Black Family Wellness Collective serves Black pregnant and parenting mamas, their babies and children through community-based, holistic reproductive health care and wrap-around, easily accessible support services that inform and empower Black mothers and families to thrive in pregnancy and parenting to reduce maternal and infant health disparities in the year around pregnancy and the newborn's first year of life.

What it reported doing in 2024

The Community Doula Program provided free doula services to 46 pregnant mothers, supporting them through pregnancy, childbirth, and the early postpartum period. This initiative aimed to improve maternal and infant health outcomes by offering continuous emotional, physical, and informational support at no cost to participants. Our Food Pantry provided access to both shelf-stable and perishable food three days a week on a walk-in basis. In addition, the program served two hot meals per week to 30-50 people, addressing immediate nutritional needs and supporting community members facing food insecurity. The Free Clinic provided free pregnancy testing, condoms, and birth control, as well as women's preventive health services, to 212 unique clients. These services increased access to essential reproductive health care and supported the well-being of women in the community. We also hosted 3 community baby showers, providing safe sleeps surfaces, diapers, and newborn and postpartum supplies to a total of 150 pregnant mothers

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 - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown and reported officer compensation is a large share of total spending, which may reflect staffing concentration.
