What Foundation for the Advancement of Midwifery Inc does
Mission
The Foundation for the Advancement of Midwifery (FAM) seeks to improve maternal and child health by funding projects that advance midwifery as the gold standard for North American maternity care through research, public education, advocacy, and health equity initiatives.
As stated on its FY2020 Form 990-EZ.
Program
Programs. As a result of the pandemic and the ongoing racial injustice, our nation has been hit with unprecedented challenges. For those who suffer at the hands of injustice, poverty, and racism on a daily basis it was just another series of unfortunate events. Like many, the FAM leadersip team watched as things went from bad to worse....then we called on the strength that emobodies midwifery and chose this opportunity to build upon the spirit of resilience.Relilience begins as an act of self-awareness, taking a moment to go deep within, in order to rise from the ashes. The Foundation for the Advancement of Midwivery has served the midwifery and birth community for more than 20 years. This statement alone demonstrates resilience. Resilience is also choosing to embrace, embed and operationalize equity, racial justice, movement building and midwifery so that you do not have to make a 180 degree turn because you are already invested in doing the work....that is who we are at FAM. Resilience for our leadership team has included making bold grant-making decisions this year because that is the work that needed to happen.2020 Initiatives Funded Health Equity $30,000 Advocacy 5,000 Public…

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2019, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2019, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended.
Balance sheet
Total assets at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2019 to 2020, from $143k to $91k (−37%).
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.
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 1 of the last 2 reported years ran a deficit.
Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2020: the base broadened from 1 funder to 2 funders, grant income rose $1k → $10k.
3 of 4 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 45% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.

the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
45% 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 the Advancement of Midwifery Inc.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 100% · 2018 82% · 2019 100% · 2020 98% — diversifying over time.

In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $12k arriving through sponsors registered in 3 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.
