Overview
Mission
UMOJA works with families that have Black chlldren being raised by guardians of another ethnicity. The goal is provide the families with the tools needed to raise children with healthy Black identities
What it reported doing in 2025
We hold an annual conference where the entire family attends and there are educational sessions broke out by age group. The conference educates and celebrates Black culture. This is one of the few places these adopted/fostered children are with families that look like theirs and where they are in the majority
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Earned-program. 60% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
- 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
STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Revenue has declined or grown slowly and expenses are high relative to revenue.
