What Every Mother Counts does
Mission
Every Mother Counts is a nonprofit organization dedicated to making pregnancy and childbirth safe, respectful, and equitable for everyone, everywhere. Motivated by the belief that maternal health is a human right, we advance evidence-based strategies to address the global maternal health crisis and improve maternal health outcomes and the experience of care for all, focusing specifically on supporting community-centered care and workforce development. We do this by raising awareness about the maternal health crisis, investing in community-led solutions, and advocating for critical systems change.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Programs
Grantmaking in 2025, Every Mother Counts committed grants to community-based organizations working to improve access to safe, respectful, and equitable maternity care in eight core countries (bangladesh, guatemala, haiti, indonesia, kenya, nepal, tanzania, and the united states). Through general operating support grants, emc invests in community-led solutions that expand, strengthen, and diversify the maternity care workforce and advance proven, evidence-based models of care and support through direct service provision. In addition to general operating support grants, emc issued emergency grants to support maternal health-related services in connection with an ongoing emergency or in the immediate aftermath of a disaster, discretionary grants, or one-time support, for maternal health initiatives, and impact scaler grants for maternal health project-specific work.

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 2019 to 2020, from $5.5M to $9.8M (+78%).
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 3%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
98% of EVERY MOTHER COUNTS’s revenue is contributions — more reliant on donations than three-quarters of its peers (51% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 3 of the last 9 reported years ran a deficit.

Leadership and staff
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
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 44 funders to 85 funders, grant income rose $654k → $2.8M.
36 of 240 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 46% 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 EVERY MOTHER COUNTS’s funders (the co-funder graph). Top 30 of 240 funders by total. 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
EVERY MOTHER COUNTS has a broad base — no single funder exceeds 15% of grant income, and it takes 10 funders to reach half.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 10 funders to its left
49% 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 EVERY MOTHER COUNTS.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 18% · 2018 49% · 2019 14% · 2020 17% · 2021 11% · 2022 23% · 2023 20% — growing more concentrated.
“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.
How long its funders stay
33% of EVERY MOTHER COUNTS's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 40% give in more than one year at all.
Share of funders still giving k years after their first recorded grant, pooled across every acquisition cohort. A funder counts as retained in a year only if it made a grant that year. Measured to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving — a funder cannot be counted as lapsed in a year most filers have not reached.
Where its funders are
EVERY MOTHER COUNTS draws 67% of its grant income from funders outside New York, across 32 states in all.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $7.7M arriving through sponsors registered in 18 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
EVERY MOTHER COUNTS runs a healthier operating margin than half of the 5,002 health nonprofits its size.
