Maternity Care Coalition

What Maternity Care Coalition does

Maternity Care Coalition is a Philadelphia-based nonprofit organization founded in 1980 (with its flagship MOMobile program launched in 1989) that provides direct maternal and child health services to pregnant people, birthing people, and families with children ages 0-3 across Southeastern Pennsylvania, additional regions of Pennsylvania, and the state of Delaware. The organization operates six integrated core service lines: Home Visiting (delivered by community health workers called Advocates), Child Care through the federal Early Head Start initiative, Community and Parenting Education (including childbirth education and reproductive health education offered in-person and online with Spanish-language options), Community Doula and Lactation support, Behavioral Health through a Family Therapy Program, and Community Reproductive Health resources. It also runs the Cribs for Kids safe sleep sub-program and engages in policy advocacy and community-engaged research.

The organization does not operate a proprietary software product or technology platform; service delivery is entirely human-mediated through home visits, child care centers, and community-based educational settings. Its go-to-market is direct-to-consumer through community outreach, referrals from healthcare providers and social service agencies, and a digital presence via its website, email newsletter, and social media channels (Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn).

Maternity Care Coalition's business model is that of a federally funded nonprofit. All services are provided free of charge to eligible families. Revenue is derived from government grants, primarily the federal Early Head Start initiative (Grant Number 03CH011921 from the Office of Head Start within the Administration for Children and Families, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services), supplemented by other grants and donations. The organization serves populations impacted by racial and social inequities, with a particular focus on Black and Brown birthing people and families, using a two-generation strategy that links parent well-being to child outcomes.
