Overview
Mission
To provide safe pasteurized donor human breast milk to fragile babies in need across Vermont and northern New York.
What it reported doing in 2025
The Vermont donor milk center, inc. Supports families during what is often an incredibly vulnerable time. We offer food security and the peace of mind needed to establish successful feeding routines. Since opening we have served over 1,100 families with over 126,750 ounces of pasteurized donor human milk (pdhm). We have financial assistance available to any family in need of help. Since our doors opened in 2020 we have provided over 139,000 in financial assistance to families all over Vermont and northern New York. Our professional lactation support with local internationally board certified lactation consultants (ibclc) connects new parents with critical resources to help them reach their lactation goals and guides them through their postpartum needs. We also support families who would like to become milk donors. We connect them with the milk bank to become an approved milk donor, and we help them ship the milk to the milk bank for processing. Since opening our doors in 2020, we have helped over 70 women become milk donors, and we have collected over 35,000 ounces of raw milk for pasteurization.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Earned-program. 79% 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. Expenses are high relative to revenue and program spending has declined or grown slowly.
