About Coffective

Coffective envisions a world where communities are empowered, connected, coordinated, and effective in improving the lives of all families. To make this vision a reality, we are on a mission to help state and local stakeholders effectively work, learn, and create together to improve maternal and child health outcomes, with a particular focus on marginalized communities most affected by structural barriers.
We center ourselves around six core values that keep us connected to our work, the people we serve, and each other: collaboration, effectiveness, equity, innovation, credibility, and bravery. Learn more about Coffective’s Vision, Mission, and Values.
