As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Programs
During 2024, we continued to grow the reach of our programs, services, enterprise initiatives and health partnerships, and continued to make significant strides in serving the health and well-being needs of our community. We expanded our health and wellness and disease prevention programming and increased the number of women accessing and participating in health promotion and education in both in person and virtual settings. We successfully launched the social delta heart disease prevention and support project with our local federally qualified health center providing direct support and coordinated services to women at highest risk of uncontrolled blood pressure. We continued to grow our health improvement and advocacy work around black maternal and child health, doubling the numbers of women we are providing perinatal support and doula care services to; as well as increasing the number of doulas in our county through recruitment and training. We hosted the 5th virtual black maternal and child health summit to a statewide and national audience, growing our thought leadership and influence in driving viable solutions for maternal/child health improvement.

The program is a comprehensive cross-sector collaboration that brings together health care systems, community organizations and members, birthworkers, public health leaders and service providers to close the gaps in birth outcomes. We center the voices of women most impacted by birth disparities to shape healthcare strategies and solutions, and to influence policy and practices affecting maternal and child health. The saving our babies (sob) model effectively improves pregnancy and birth outcomes by addressing both the social determinants of health (sdoh) that impact patient health, and the healthcare experiences of vulnerable women in clinical and community settings. We continue to play a central role as strategic partner and implementation site for this county-wide initiative that we co-designed and co-manage with our health system partners. --including managing the county-wide doula collective that we established and have expanded in support of this initiative. Our collective impact data indicate improved birth outcomes for the women we…

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2018, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2018, 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.

the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 4 funders to its left
62% 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 FOUNDATION FOR BLACK WOMEN'S WELLNESS INC.

In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $908k arriving through sponsors registered in 5 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.
