Moms Against Poverty

What Moms Against Poverty does

Moms Against Poverty is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization founded in 2008 and headquartered in Burlingame, California, that delivers humanitarian aid to impoverished children and vulnerable populations across 18 countries. The organization operates through four core programs — Education, Health Care & Wellness, Hunger Relief & Basic Provisions, and Orphan Care — implemented on the ground primarily through a volunteer-run delivery model and a network of partner schools, community centers, orphanages, and healthcare facilities. In Iran, operations are executed through a jointly-controlled sister organization, Nikgaman Jamshid Charity, under an OFAC General and Specific License authorizing up to $17M in fund transfers over two years; in Senegal, partnerships include the U.S. Embassy and the Senegal Ministry of Health; and in the U.S., the organization supports 40+ partner schools, shelters, and welfare agencies.

The organization's revenue model is donation-based across four streams: individual donations, monthly recurring giving programs (Vital Rescue Collective at $19/month and Giving Path), corporate sponsorships through an annual benefit gala with tiered packages from Champion ($100K+) to Seed of Hope ($2K+), and alternative giving methods including donor-advised funds, stock, cryptocurrency, and planned giving. The organization reports that 89.5% of funds raised go directly to children and 90% sustain programs, with only 10% allocated to operations. In 2025 alone, the organization reports impacting over 5.1 million lives across its core countries, including 120,000 accessing education, 1.3 million accessing healthcare, 4.15 million receiving food and basic provisions, and 700 orphaned children receiving care.

Moms Against Poverty maintains third-party credibility through Charity Navigator, Guidestar Platinum Seal, the 2025 Great Nonprofits Top Rated Award, and Jefferson Awards recognition. The organization holds no patents, proprietary technology, or AI/ML capabilities; its technical footprint is a standard nonprofit web platform supporting donation processing, campaign pages, and content publishing. Headcount is reported at 11–50 employees, with operational delivery primarily executed by volunteers and local partner organizations.

Core offering

Moms Against Poverty is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit that delivers humanitarian aid to impoverished children globally through four core programs: Education (schools, learning hubs, vocational training), Health Care & Wellness (clinics, hospital equipment, surgeries), Hunger Relief & Basic Provisions (food, disaster relief), and Orphan Care (children's homes, rehabilitation). The organization raises funds from individual donors and corporate sponsors and channels them through on-the-ground partner schools, orphanages, healthcare facilities, and a sister organization in Iran.

Product overview

These programs are supported by specific campaigns including Craft Her Future (women's empowerment) and Thalassemia Relief Campaign (medical support). Donation mechanisms include the Vital Rescue Collective monthly program ($19/month) and Giving Path monthly giving initiative.
