What Community Conversations Sister to Sister Inc does
Mission
Community conversations: sister to sister aims to: remove barriers to improved health outcomes in the black community by providing a forum for open and honest dialogue between key stakeholders. Empower community participants as they navigate the medical system in search for the highest quality care for themselves and their families.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990-EZ.
Program
Community conversations: sister to sister, a womens health initiative, is an open forum to explore health issues of relevance to black women and their families. Startling disparities in morbidity, mortality, and access to high-quality healthcare for u.s. Black women are well-documented. To combat these disparities, we host monthly meetings in a local hair salon that bring together black women with a rotating multidisciplinary team of black women health professionals for informal and candid conversation. Having regular opportunities to meet with other black women to discuss health and practice health-related conversations can improve our participants' health and wellness experience. Through our efforts, we: - build a sense of community - address the legacy of mistrust between the black and medical communities to foster greater access to healthcare resources - consider the root causes of socioeconomic ills and provide solutions - prioritize womens health and promote self-care as an essential part of a womans role within the family.
The first program described on its most recent Form 990-EZ.

the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
67% 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 COMMUNITY CONVERSATIONS SISTER TO SISTER INC.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2021 100% · 2022 100% · 2023 100% — broadly stable.

Where its funders are
67% of COMMUNITY CONVERSATIONS SISTER TO SISTER INC's grant income arrives through donor-advised or pass-through sponsors, whose addresses record where the money is held rather than where the donor is. Of the $8k that is directly attributable, 67% of it comes from Massachusetts funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $15k arriving through sponsors registered in 1 state 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.
