NourishMental, fiscally sponsored by Urban Symbiosis, is working to ensure that birthing and postpartum individuals have access to the nutrition they need during one of life's most transformative journeys. Your support directly helps to provide meals to families.
DonateThe postpartum period is crucial for both parent and child, yet many families in our community struggle to access nutritious, wholesome meals during this critical time.

NourishMental is a fiscally sponsored program of Urban Symbiosis, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. As a fiscally sponsored program, NourishMental benefits from Urban Symbiosis’s 501(c)(3) tax-exempt status, enabling us to receive tax-deductible donations while focusing on our mission of supporting postpartum nutrition. Donations to NourishMental are tax-deductible and processed through our fiscal sponsor, Urban Symbiosis.
As a program of Urban Symbiosis, NourishMental operates with full financial oversight and accountability to ensure your contributions are used responsibly.
Would you consider joining us in nourishing our community's newest parents? Every contribution, regardless of size, helps ensure that more families have access to the nutritional support they need to thrive.
Our goal is to raise $184,400 to support 200 mothers during their postpartum journey by providing nutritious meals and securing nonprofit status. This funding will cover meal costs—9 meals a week over 6 weeks—and a 6-month kitchen lease. Additionally, we aim to obtain 501(c)(3) nonprofit status to expand our impact, which includes an application fee and professional filing services. Your support will ensure mothers receive the nutrition they need during this critical time and help us grow to serve even more families.
Meal Costs: $16 per meal × 9 meals/week × 6 weeks × 200 mothers
Total Cost – $172,800
Kitchen Lease: $1,000/month × 6 months
Total Cost – $6,000
We currently operate with a sponsor so we have access to 501(c)(3) benefits, but obtaining our own 501(c)(3)
Application Fee: $600 (for organizations with expected gross receipts over $50,000).
Professional Services: $3,000–$5,000 (for hiring a consultant or attorney to assist with filing).
