What they do
SINCE 1999, MMI BOARD MEMBERS HAVE SERVED AS AN ADVISORY and FUNDRAISING BOARD to ACM (ASSOCIATION of MIDWIVES of THE MAM SPEAKING AREA). WE HAVE BEEN WORKING WITH THIS GROUP of 40 MAYA MIDWIVES FROM THE BEGINNING of THEIR ORGANIZATION WHICH WAS FORMED to ADDRESS ISSUES SPECIFIC to INDIGENOUS MIDWIVES and THE COMMUNITIES THEY SERVED. THESE MIDWIVES HAD PREVIOUSLY WORKED WITH SEVERAL INTERNATIONAL GROUPS WHO OFFERED TRAINING COURSES DESIGNED to INCREASE MIDWIFERY SKILLS and ADDRESS THE HIGH MATERNAL and INFANT MORTALITY RATES IN THE AREA. HOWEVER, DESPITE THESE TRAINING SESSIONS, AS ELSEWHERE IN THE WORLD, THERE HAD BEEN LITTLE DEMONSTRABLE IMPROVEMENT IN OUTCOMES. FURTHERMORE, THE MIDWIVES HAD NO VOICE IN THE PROGRAMS BEING OFFERED. THEY DECIDED to SEEK THEIR OWN SOLUTIONS. THE MODEL WHICH DEVELOPED WAS BASED ON LOCAL CONTROL, LONG TERM COMMITMENT of N. AMERICAN ADVISORS, DONORS, and VOLUNTEERS and CONSTANT RE-EVALUATION of STRATEGIES.

Money made simple
Ask these three easy questions
- Who did you help? Ask for a recent story or report that shows real results.
- What will my money do? Ask exactly what your gift will pay for.
- Is this really the charity? Give only through its official website or confirmed phone number.
Worth asking: Expenses exceeded revenue by $42,858 this year. Ask whether that was planned or caused by a one-time event.
Bottom line: Do not decide from a name, mission statement, or tax status alone. Look at where the money went, then ask what changed, who was helped, and what your gift will do. YouCanGiveBack does not endorse or grade organizations.
Financial picture
A plain-language look at the latest Form 990 figures available. These numbers help you ask better questions; they do not, by themselves, rate whether a charity is good or bad.
How each $100 of revenue was used
The large number compares each expense with revenue. The smaller number shows its share of total expenses.
Expenses were greater than revenue, so the colored ring fills the available $100 and the total above 100% is shown below.
Has the pattern changed?
Colored bars = expense mix: how each year’s expenses were divided. Total expenses vs. revenue shows whether the charity spent less or more than it received. The current filing is first.
Money in and money out
