Maternity Care Coalition Inc.

Maternity Care Coalition Inc., a Philadelphia-based nonprofit organization, acts as a federal grant recipient (21% of recent awards as prime recipient) and substantially as a sub-recipient under state and university administering agencies (79% of recent awards). The organization has received over $35.9 million in prior federal grant funding and carries demonstrated capacity in maternal and early childhood services, home visiting programs staffed by community health workers, and perinatal support for vulnerable populations including pregnant women with substance use disorder.

Maternity Care Coalition's primary capability footprint centers on comprehensive maternal and early childhood education and family support services designed to improve health outcomes for pregnant, postpartum, and low-income women and infants ages 0 to 3. The organization delivers home visiting programs utilizing community health workers known as "Advocates," parenting education, case management, health and nutritional support, child healthcare coordination, and school readiness programming. The organization holds particular expertise in serving high-risk populations with complex histories including trauma, perinatal depression, substance abuse, interpersonal violence, and criminal justice involvement. Current work spans Philadelphia, Delaware, Montgomery, and Bucks counties in Pennsylvania, and includes services at Riverside Correctional Facility for Women. Recent representative awards include a $2.45 million Early Head Start Project Grant (CFDA 93.600) from the Office of Head Start awarded February 1, 2026, with a five-year completion date of January 31, 2031; a sub-recipient role under Thomas Jefferson University's SAMHSA-funded grant program (awarded December 12, 2024) providing support to pregnant and postpartum women in recovery from opioid dependence disorder through community health worker home visiting and patient navigation; and multiple sub-awards under the Pennsylvania Department of Education's Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP) and the Pennsylvania Department of Human Services' Maternal, Infant, and Early Childhood Home Visiting (MIECHV) program (CFDA 93.505), through which the organization provides maternal and child health training for staff working with families at risk for child abuse and neglect.

Customer concentration is heavily skewed toward nutrition and maternal health programs. The Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service accounts for 45 awards (63% of total), predominantly CACFP sub-awards flowing through the Pennsylvania Department of Education. The Department of Health and Human Services entities collectively account for 17 awards across Health Resources and Services Administration (8 awards, including MIECHV formula awards), Administration for Children and Families (7 combined awards, primarily Early Head Start), and Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (2 awards supporting pregnant women with substance use disorder). Activity has grown substantially year over year, from 4 awards in 2022 to 18 in 2025, with 14 awards already recorded in 2026. The organization reports only one award completing within the next twenty-four months, indicating minimal recompete exposure in that window. The organization operates entirely through state and federal sub-recipient relationships rather than holding direct federal prime contracts or vehicles.
