Womankind Inc
Providing Hope, Help and Possibility to Pregnant Women in Need
Programs and results
What we aim to solve
Womankind was founded in 1975 and has served thousands of clients since then. One thing we struggle with is the branding of our organization and the best ways to reach potential clients. We are a very small organization with only 4 fulltime employees, 3 part-time and a volunteer group.
Cleveland has the highest infant mortality rate in the country and we are working very hard to help women who are pregnant or think they might be, have the best outcome for their babies and their families.

Charting impact
Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.
What is the organization aiming to accomplish?
We would like to attract more women to our organization who are pregnant or think they might be. We offer free prenatal care through 28 weeks for women of all ages, races, income levels and those with or without insurance. We are a "Hidden gem" and we are constantly working hard to get the message out that we are here to serve the community.
We would like to play a role in helping to lower the infant mortality rate in Cleveland/Cuyahoga County.
What are the organization's key strategies for making this happen?
We have begun to use social media in a more robust and targeted way. We try to use each event and outreach action as a touchstone to try to get the message out about who Womankind is and what we can offer the women and families of Northeast Ohio.
Events, social media, speakers, board involvement all play a role in trying to attract clients as well as donors.
What are the organization's capabilities for doing this?
Our board has grown and we are using the members strategically to share the message and importance of Womankind with all of their contacts.
We have a committed staff and volunteer group, but are constantly searching for new donors and new opportunities to raise awareness of our wonderful organization. We are constantly searching for volunteers who can make such a difference in the lives of the women and families we serve.
What have they accomplished so far and what's next?
We have accomplished the healthy births of hundreds of babies of the women who have used our services. We are totally welcoming and non-judgmental of every woman who walks through our doors. The women who come to us for help absolutely love the experience they have here at Womankind and most share that with friends and family. We have a strong following or moms who refer friends to use.
Our volunteers, (including medical, OBs, RNs, CNM, phlebotomists, other care givers and support) have dedicated so much time to this organization, we couldn't get through the days without them.We hope to encourage new donors, especially medical, to spend some time at Womankind and learn how many lives they can touch as they meet our deserving clients.
We continue to grow, modernize and reach out to the communities to help ensure that no woman faces a pregnancy without Hope, Help and Possibility.
