Revenue model

1. Donor Human Milk Sales: Mothers' Milk Bank collects, processes, and distributes donor human milk to hospitals and families. About 80-90% goes to hospitals (primarily NICUs), and 10-20% goes directly to outpatient families who need bridge milk, supplemental supply, or milk for adopted/surrogate babies.
2. Donations and Fundraising: RMCHF relies on charitable donations from individuals, community partners, and events to fund its patient and family assistance programs, including rent/mortgage assistance, gas and grocery gift cards, and equipment like shower chairs for families facing pediatric medical challenges.

Core offering

Rocky Mountain Children's Health Foundation (RMCHF) is a nonprofit organization that operates the Mothers' Milk Bank, collecting, processing, and distributing donor human milk to hospital NICUs and outpatient families across 24 states. It also provides financial, nutritional, and emotional support programs—including Patient and Family Assistance, PAWS for RMC facility dog therapy, and The Stink Bug Project—to families with sick children.

Product overview

Rocky Mountain Children's Health Foundation operates a portfolio of distinct programs supporting families with sick children: its flagship Mothers' Milk Bank collects, processes, and distributes donor human milk to NICUs and families nationwide; Patient and Family Assistance provides financial, nutritional, and emotional support; and PAWS for RMC and The Stink Bug Project offer animal-assisted therapy. The organization also operates Baby Café Colorado as a free lactation support service and hosts the annual Healthy Baby Summit conference for perinatal professionals. These programs function as standalone initiatives rather than modules within a unified platform architecture.
