Mission and programs · 2024

Mission

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

  • In January 2025, the organization trained 17 new doulas, contributing to increased service availability. As a result, SC4S supported 110 births during the fiscal year, compared to an average of 70 births annually in prior years. This represents an increase of 40 births, or approximately 57 percent year-over-year growth. This growth reflects increased community responsiveness and the development of a more diverse, intergenerational doula workforce serving familes across the region. In March 2025, we launched a key initiative in effort to refine our community-based approach to service and care, as well as build the training capacity by partnering with HealthConnect One (HCO), a nationally recognized leader in community-based doula education. We recruited and enrolled sixteen multidisciplinary participants from across the region into the HCO Training of Trainers (TOT) program.

    Expenses $500,069 · Grants $25,349

  • Successfully developing these new trainers represents a critical investment in long-term workforce sustainability. Through HCOs pop-education training methodology, trainers were equipped to deliver a community-based approach to childbirth education in an engaging, participatory format that emphasizes shared learning, lived experience and practical application. This newly adopted approach expands and reinforces our local/regional training network by strengthening our ability to train professionals while maintaining the integrity and accessibility of community-based doula practice.

  • In FY25, SC4S advanced a partnership with Community Health Network (CHN) to support a collective impact approach to maternal health that strengthens alignment between community- based doulas and Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs). Following Hurricane Helene, partners leveraged a post-disaster funding opportunity to launch a special rural health project, Strong Mothers, Stronger Communities. The 2-year project focuses on increasing doula capacity in rural, maternal health deserts and disaster-impacted areas in the region. Key outcomes include training and capacity building for doulas to provide rural-informed care in five counties with distinct geographic and healthcare landscapes (Mitchell, McDowell, Madison, Yancey, and Avery).

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.
