What Dar a Luz Birth & Health Center does
Mission
To provide compassionate and holistic prenatal care, women's health services and a safe alternative to hospital birth for women and their families.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Programs
Prenatal care:certified nurse midwives provide a unique form of woman-centered prenatal care that focuses on building a trusting relationship with women so that they will know the midwife who will attend the birth of their child. There is a high priority on preparing women for birth and parenthood. Women are given a comprehensive education booklet and are required to attend up to nine classes on pregnancy, birth, breastfeeding, newborns and car seats as part of their care. Midwifery and lactation support are available to our clients 24/7. These are also structured to help families support each other and build a sense of community that lasts beyond the span of pregnancy and birth. In 2024, 120 women birthed their babies at the center and another 90 women had to be transferred to the hospital because of change in risk status. Another 223 women were seen specifically for well-woman exams. Breastfeeding initiation for all mothers, regardless of where their babies were born, was 100% at the time of birth with continuation rate of 92% at 6 weeks postpartum. Continuation at 6 months remains high at 70%. About 30-40%of our clients at any given time receive medicaid benefits either as a…
$1,239,202 spent$1,360,104 earned by the program77% of program spendingNewborn care: midwives practice to the full extent of their licenses by providing newborn care for the first month of life. Caring for the mother-baby dyad together during this time results in higher exclusive breastfeeding rates and better adjustment to parenthood. All of the babies born at the birth center have received their newborn care at the center. Most of the babies born at the hospital come back to receive their newborn care here, as well, instead of seeing a pediatrician during the first month. Our goal is to provide newborn care to all healthy newborns whose mothers have completed their prenatal care at the birth center.

Routine well-woman care, contraception, preconception counseling and gynecologic services are essential parts of health promotion for women, and all of these services are offered at dar a luz. Many of the women who give birth at the center continue gynecologic care here and many who have their annual exams go on to register for prenatal care.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2017, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2017, 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 2018 to 2019, from $239k to $477k (+99%).
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.
Government-grant reliance: 2021 32% · 2022 15% · 2024 2%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.

Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 5 of the last 8 reported years ran a deficit.

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 1 funder to 2 funders, grant income rose $5k → $51k.
2 of 9 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 10% 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 DAR A LUZ BIRTH & HEALTH CENTER’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
DAR A LUZ BIRTH & HEALTH CENTER leans on a few funders — its largest provides 32% of grant income and the top three 67%; half comes from just 2 funders.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left
26% 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 DAR A LUZ BIRTH & HEALTH CENTER.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 100% · 2020 95% · 2021 100% · 2022 100% · 2023 99% — broadly stable.
“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
61% of DAR A LUZ BIRTH & HEALTH CENTER's grant income comes from New Mexico funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $16k 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.

DAR A LUZ BIRTH & HEALTH CENTER's funding base is broadening — from 1 funders to 2 as grant income climbed.
