Overview

Mission

Vibrant Woman-Mama Sana seeks to directly address the grave and racialized maternal and infant health disparities in the United States and to improve pregnancy and birth outcomes for communities of color in Central Texas.

What it reported doing in 2024

Core programming consists of birth companion support and prenatal as well as postpartum support for birthing parents. The goals and objectives of these programs address issues related to disparities in pregnancy and birthing that are influenced by social determinants of health. Our different services have specific objectives that address the issues at the individual, community, and system levels.

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 84% 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 - The filed numbers largely add up and a large share of available resources goes toward mission work. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
