Mission and programs · 2024

Primary exempt purpose

SINCE 1999, MMI BOARD MEMBERS HAVE SERVED AS AN ADVISORY AND FUNDRAISING BOARD TO ACM (ASSOCIATION OF MIDWIVES OF THE MAM SPEAKING AREA). WE HAVE BEEN WORKING WITH THIS GROUP OF 40 MAYA MIDWIVES FROM THE BEGINNING OF THEIR ORGANIZATION WHICH WAS FORMED TO ADDRESS ISSUES SPECIFIC TO INDIGENOUS MIDWIVES AND THE COMMUNITIES THEY SERVED. THESE MIDWIVES HAD PREVIOUSLY WORKED WITH SEVERAL INTERNATIONAL GROUPS WHO OFFERED TRAINING COURSES DESIGNED TO INCREASE MIDWIFERY SKILLS AND ADDRESS THE HIGH MATERNAL AND INFANT MORTALITY RATES IN THE AREA. HOWEVER, DESPITE THESE TRAINING SESSIONS, AS ELSEWHERE IN THE WORLD, THERE HAD BEEN LITTLE DEMONSTRABLE IMPROVEMENT IN OUTCOMES. FURTHERMORE, THE MIDWIVES HAD NO VOICE IN THE PROGRAMS BEING OFFERED. THEY DECIDED TO SEEK THEIR OWN SOLUTIONS. THE MODEL WHICH DEVELOPED WAS BASED ON LOCAL CONTROL, LONG TERM COMMITMENT OF N. AMERICAN ADVISORS, DONORS, AND VOLUNTEERS AND CONSTANT RE-EVALUATION OF STRATEGIES.

  • MAYA MIDWIFERY SUPPORT - FUNDING THE ONLY MEDICAL FACILITY IN GUATEMALA OPERATED BY INDIGENOUS MAYA MAM MIDWIVES, IMPROVING MATERNAL AND CHILD HEALTHCARE IN THE RURAL MAM REGION OF THE COUNTRY. IN 2024, WE...

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. Earlier years are each on their own filing page.

The four totals the IRS asks for on Part I of the Form 990, as filed. A dash means the figure was not present on the return — not that it was zero.

Nonprofiteer parses Forms 990, 990-EZ and 990-PF, in a window of recent tax years. These returns are recorded from the IRS e-file index, so their figures were extracted by that index rather than read from the return here — treat them as a different source from the filings above, not as more of the same record. A dash means the index carries no figure; Form 990-T listings carry none at all.

As filed, from the IRS e-Postcard file of 2 November 2026. The IRS publishes only each organization's most recent postcard, so earlier years are not shown. A 990-N carries no financial detail. The postcard also gives the principal officer's address, which is not shown here.

Grants made

No itemized grants to organizations. Schedule I is filed only by organizations that granted more than $5,000 to a recipient, so most filers have none.

Other IRS files

Auto-Revocation List

Not listed. The IRS publishes this list for organizations whose exemption was automatically revoked for failing to file for three consecutive years.

Publication 78

Listed as of 13 October 2026, under deductibility PC.

These are two separate IRS files on two separate schedules, shown as published and not reconciled with each other. Neither is a statement about whether a contribution is deductible today: 19,245 organizations appear in Publication 78 while the IRS's own revocation file lists them as currently revoked, more than half of those revoked before 2019. Absence from Publication 78 is evidence of nothing, and presence is not evidence either. Verify current status with the IRS before relying on it.

What this page reflects

The registration facts above come from the IRS Business Master File published 13 October 2026 and read 1 November 2026, for every organization at once. Returns through tax year 2024, the newest we have parsed for this organization.
