Fresh Harvest Pantry — Refrigeration/Freezer Project

Mom’s Mental Health Initiative (MMHI) is a Wisconsin-based nonprofit organization dedicated to helping individuals navigate perinatal mental health disorders, such as postpartum depression and anxiety. This project, Managing Rapid Growth: Enhancing Infrastructure and Sustainable Donor Strategies, led by MMHI sought to strengthen its fundraising infrastructure and develop sustainable sources of revenue. With this award, MMHI partnered with a consultant to assess its fundraising capacity and create a revenue strategy tailored to its three core program areas: education and awareness, resource brokering and peer support. The resulting revenue models helped MMHI establish a paid membership program for partners and sponsors and begin developing a corporate education revenue structure. These strategies, combined with new donor software and strengthened partnerships, positioned MMHI to sustain its growth while continuing to provide resource brokering and peer support services free of charge to perinatal individuals.
