Mission and programs · 2023

Mission

Save the lives of Black birthing people and their infants and improve health outcomes by increasing access to critical services and support.

Activities or mission (Part I)

Save the lives of Black birthing people and their infants and improve health outcomes by increasing access to critical services and support. This includes, but is not limited to, paid parental leave, doula service coverage, transportation to and from medical appointments, therapy cost coverage, and baby essential items.

  • We provided supplemental income to birthers who recently experienced a birth event in order to give them the time they needed to heal and bond with their babies and still be able to pay their bills and provide food for their families. The supplemental income is provided to birthers who do not receive this benefit from their employer and would otherwise go unpaid during post-partum healing.

    Expenses $150

  • We cover the cost of services that improve birth and healing outcomes such as birth Doula support, breastfeeding classes, birthing classes, and new baby classes. We partner with culturally congruent organizations that work directly for and are a part of, the community we are serving.

    Expenses $55,370

  • We provide funds for mothers to purchase essential items for the safety of new babies such as car seats, cribs, and strollers. We also provide grants to cover the cost of transportation to and from prenatal and postnatal medical appointments.

    Expenses $17,541

  • Program Management Costs (Sponsorship Coordinator) and necessary expenses necessary to run the programs.

    Expenses $49,938

  • Transportation Grants for sponsoree to get to and from medical appointments for the purpose of increasing access to pre and postnatal care.

    Expenses $397

  • Community listening sessions - gathering data from lived experiences to better serve the community. EBB grants the participants a small amount to reimburse them for their time.

    Expenses $1,000

  • Family Engagement is a program designed to foster healthy relationships throughout our community. This program extends the support to the families we serve beyond the financial aspect by providing gathering opportunities, advocacy, and community outreach.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week.

On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those.
