Programs

Global project with bumi sehat - the global partnership between the Ariah Foundation and bumi sehat is a cross-cultural maternal health initiative taking place in bali, indonesia, focused on integrating indigenous midwifery, reproductive justice, arts-based healing, and community-centered care practices. Throughout 2025, both organizations spent the year laying the foundation for the project through biweekly virtual meetings centered on curriculum development, cultural exchange, relationship building, and collaborative planning.

Its own explanation, from Schedule O of that return (Part III, line 2).
The mother wit conference - the mother wit conference promotes the free exchange of stories and ideas through educational workshops, performance art and presentations by the most brilliant academics, healers, and practitioners in the reproductive, psychological, and holistic health fields. The mother wit conference seeks to offer an inclusive, safe, and engaging space for men and women of all ages, to examine and give voice to the reproductive experiences that are often left unspoken and unaddressed. These experiences include, but are not limited to, infertility, miscarriage, premature birth, abortion, and postpartum depression/psychosis. The conference examines how they affect the individuals mentally, spiritually, and emotionally. The conference culminates with our audience members' stories being brought to life on stage using a powerful improvisational theater form called playback theater conference attendees will be invited to co-operatively, compassionately and collectively share and explore how women and men navigate the mental, emotional and spiritual impact of infertility, pregnancy, infant loss and postpartum depression/psychosis.

He name the series in her honor, as a tribute to those mothers and shine a light on the inequities of the reproductive healthcare system and the maternal mortality epidemic in america. Bipoc women in the united states are 3 times more likely to die during childbirth than their white counterparts with the same symptoms. Bipoc pregnant women living in new york city are 8 times more likely to die. Omari's goal is to use his talents as an artist to humanize these horrific statistics and create spaces in which community members can share their birthing stories for the purpose of healing and catharsis. The in her honor series is a tribute to all the women that made the ultimate sacrifice to bring black and brown babies into the world. All the women depicted in the series are mothers, sisters, aunts, cousins, partners, friends and contributors. They have left behind communities of…

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2022, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2022, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2024 to 2025, from $470k to $981k (+109%).
How it's funded, over time
Each bar is one year's revenue split into where it came from, and every bar is the same height — these are shares, not amounts, so a year that raised twice as much looks the same size. Hover a bar for the split.
93% of ARIAH FOUNDATION’s revenue is contributions — more donation-reliant than the typical peer (91% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 0 of the last 4 reported years ran a deficit.

The officers, directors, trustees and key employees listed on each return. Joined and no longer listed compare each filing with the year before, matching people by surname and first initial; a year after a gap, or a roster under three people, has no comparison.
Who funds it, year by year
2022 → 2023: the base broadened from 1 funder to 5 funders, grant income rose $100k → $297k.
2 of 6 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 8% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.
From the IRS filings of ARIAH FOUNDATION’s funders (the co-funder graph). Association, not causation. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
How concentrated its funding is
ARIAH FOUNDATION leans on a few funders — its largest provides 49% of grant income and the top three 93%; half comes from just 2 funders.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left
46% of the income these shares are computed over arrives through pass-through sponsors or from payers whose filings do not say what kind of payment it is. Concentration is still measured over all of it, because the money is real; what it does not support is a claim about how many institutions have chosen to fund ARIAH FOUNDATION.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2022 100% · 2023 65% — diversifying over time.
“Effective funders” = inverse Herfindahl index (1 / Σ shareᵢ²) — the number of equal-sized funders that would give the same concentration. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
Where its funders are
ARIAH FOUNDATION draws 54% of its grant income from funders outside New York, across 2 states in all.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $40k arriving through sponsors registered in 2 states is excluded from the map and the split above: a sponsor holds money on a donor’s behalf, so its registered address would place those dollars somewhere no donor need ever have been. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
Against its field
ARIAH FOUNDATION runs a healthier operating margin than three-quarters of the 13,062 human services nonprofits its size.
