Revenue model

1. Donations: BCCC is a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt organization (EIN # 86-3991365) that relies on donations from the community to fund operations and services to families.
2. Medi-Cal Reimbursement: Trained doulas can access Medi-Cal reimbursement for their services, creating sustainable career paths while strengthening community health. This represents a government healthcare program revenue stream.
3. No-Cost Services to Families: All doula services, parent education, baby essentials, and food distribution are provided at no cost to low-income and immigrant families. Revenue comes from donations and reimbursements rather than direct customer payments.
