MAYA Organization

What MAYA Organization does

MAYA Organization is a Pittsburgh-based nonprofit (EIN 26-4406956) founded in 2009 that advances birth equity for the city's communities, with a specific focus on birthing people of color who face systemic disparities in maternal and infant health outcomes. Its core services include perinatal support, doula services, childbirth education, family support, and the Hope for Incarcerated People program, which extends services to pregnant and postpartum individuals who are incarcerated or previously incarcerated. The organization also runs a Training program that builds capacity among community birthworkers and operates the Triangle of Care framework as its service-delivery model.

The organization does not offer technology products; its offerings are entirely community-based services delivered directly to individuals and families in the Pittsburgh metropolitan area. Enrollment is handled through bilingual intake forms (English via the Social Solutions Portal and Spanish via Google Forms), supported by downloadable brochures and a diaper-request form. Outreach runs through the organizational website (mayaorganization.org), community partnerships, and direct client enrollment; fundraising is conducted via a Network for Good donation portal and a "How to Give" page.

As a 501(c)-style nonprofit with 11–50 employees and a single office at 7451 Washington Ave, Pittsburgh, PA 15218, MAYA's revenue mechanics are based on grants, donations, and likely government funding rather than commercial pricing — no revenue figures are publicly disclosed. The organization formalizes outcomes reporting through an annual Impact Report (Impact Report 2025 authored by Christy Cozby) and is governed independently with no disclosed parent company or holding structure.
