What Maternal and Child Health Access does
Mission
Through direct support, individual advocacy, policy change, and health care workforce transformation, MCHA is building a California where women and families are supported, and everyone has the opportunity to be healthy. See Schedule O.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Programs
Welcome Baby is a model home visitation program designed to improve maternal health and birth outcomes, and provide support for pregnant and parenting women and their families. The program promotes the mothers and babys health, well-being and enhanced nurturing, and understanding of babys development. We provide information, support and a trusted parent coach to meet with women and support them through pregnancy and the first nine months of their babys lives. During home visits, the Welcome Baby staff refer clients to needed resources, distribute baby and mom-friendly items, provide breast feeding education, and provide information on accessing health care coverage. See Schedule O for further details.
$2,542,077 spent54% of program spendingHealth Coverage Outreach and Enrollment. Through this program, MCHA provides one-on-one education and assistance to low income people seeking quality health coverage and access to services. MCHA educates people about health coverage options, helps them enroll in or renew their coverage, and works to ensure they are able to use it with clinics, doctors, hospitals, pharmacies and other access points. The greatest need we serve, however, is troubleshooting, or fixing the health coverage when its not working, when clients must switch health programs, or when they have trouble getting the health care they need. We use this knowledge of health coverage issues people face to engage in broader advocacy to improve health delivery systems.
$1,997,824 spent42% of program spendingHealth Coverage Training. MCHA is the organization that government agencies and other organizations turn to for accurate and up-to-date information on health care programs. MCHAs trainings help agency staff learn the intricacies of how health care programs are supposed to work and what to do when they don't. This covers enrollment, renewals, and troubleshooting for every available low-income health care program in the county and state. We accept What do I do? calls from clinics, schools, social service agencies and teach how to navigate the most difficult situations imaginable; at times we work the difficult case situations ourselves.

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 2022 to 2023, from $939k to $3.3M (+254%).
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: 2017 82% · 2018 82% · 2019 78% · 2020 82% · 2021 10% · 2022 99% · 2023 64%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
99% of Maternal and Child Health Access’s revenue is contributions — more reliant on donations than three-quarters of its peers (81% for the typical peer).

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 8 funders to 9 funders, grant income rose $408k → $1.0M.
5 of 24 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 22% 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 Maternal and Child Health Access’s funders (the co-funder graph). Top 22 of 24 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
Maternal and Child Health Access has a broad base — no single funder exceeds 24% of grant income, and it takes 3 funders to reach half.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 3 funders to its left
70% 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 Maternal and Child Health Access.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 28% · 2018 68% · 2019 54% · 2020 49% · 2021 53% · 2022 48% · 2023 40% — 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
38% of Maternal and Child Health Access's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 54% 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
97% of Maternal and Child Health Access's grant income comes from California funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $1.2M 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.
Against its field
Maternal and Child Health Access's funding base is broadening — from 8 funders to 9 as grant income climbed.
