Mission and programs · 2023

Mission

Reduce adverse birth-related outcomes among individuals of color by providing doula services, advocacy, and education.

  • Withheld by Nonprofiteer: this text may name a private individual.

    Expenses $512,779

  • To reach families of color and those at risk for adverse birth outcomes, SC4S maintains strong referral partnerships with: -MAHEC -Project CARA -Mary Benson House -Buncombe County Nurse-Family Partnership -Buncombe County WIC Offices (including West Asheville) -Polk County Health Department In total, SC4S supported 70 births, providing comprehensive prenatal, lactation, postpartum support, and childbirth education to each family. Community Engaegment: SC4S actively partnered with community organizations to raise awarenes about the benefits of early doula care. These efforts focused on promoting healthy pregnancies, reducing risks such as low birth weight and infant mortality, and ensuring a strong start for newborns by addressing health concerns early.

  • Workforce Development: SC4S re-evaluated its priorities and discontinued participation in a five-year research grant with UNC Chapel Hill to expand the doula workforce. Despite this SC4S continued its involvement in the Doula Data Consortium Time Use Study in partnership with SisterWeb, aiming to better understand the roles and time commitments of community-based doulas to improve payment structures The organization hired four new doulas, bringing the total to 12 trained community-based doulas, each dedicated to improving birth outcomes for Black families and those unable to afford private care.

As filed on the 2023 return. A text marked withheld matched a screen for wording that may name a private individual, such as an honorific or "in memory of". Most of what it withholds names no one; it is withheld so that what does is never shown.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. 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. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us.
