What Mother and Child Alliance does
Mission
The Mother and Child Alliance reinforces a safetynet during and after pregnancy for moms, babies and their providers to prevent hiv and other serious, costly pediatric infections in newborns. We strengthen disparate prenatal and postpartum systems of care in illinois and accross the u.s.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Programs
Perinatal hiv enhanced case management, with crucial support from afc and the illinois department of public health, provided services to approx 100 women in 2025. Maca services are designed to provide a high level of support to women living with hiv who are newly diagnosed, living with hiv and pregnant or recently delivered women navigating the complex healthcare system that does not easily address the intricate medical and healthcare needs of women living with hiv and their families. The services also address the co-morbid conditions that complicate childbearing including addiction, mental illness, homelessness, community and domestic violence, and other sexually transmitted infections.

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 2017 to 2018, from $1.2M to $1.4M (+13%).
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 89% · 2018 91% · 2020 94% · 2021 89% · 2022 85% · 2023 83% · 2024 87% · 2025 78%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
99% of Mother and Child Alliance’s revenue is contributions — more reliant on donations than three-quarters of its peers (51% for the typical peer).

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 2 funders to 9 funders, grant income rose $5k → $136k.
3 of 14 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 33% 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 Mother and Child Alliance’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
Mother and Child Alliance has a broad base — no single funder exceeds 19% 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
68% 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 Mother and Child Alliance.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 100% · 2018 50% · 2019 50% · 2020 59% · 2021 35% · 2022 30% · 2023 29% — diversifying over time.
“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
20% of Mother and Child Alliance's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 57% 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
67% of Mother and Child Alliance's grant income comes from Illinois funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $139k 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.
