Overview

Mission

A BEACON OF HOPE WOMEN'S CENTER HAS EXISTED SINCE 1997, EMPOWERING YOUNG GIRLS, WOMEN, AND FAMILIES THROUGH PREGNANCY DIAGNOSIS, DECISION SUPPORT, AND SEXUAL HEALTH SERVICES BY PROVIDING COMPASSIONATE MEDICAL, EMOTIONAL, AND LONG-TERM CARE THAT SPECIALIZING IN HOPE, HEALING, AND RECOVERY. In 2024, A Beacon of Hope saved the Atlanta community more than $1,100,000 by providing medically accredited, life-affirming services to 2,000 individual patients. These services included over 20,000 patient interactions, 1,794 pregnancy tests, 844 ultrasounds, medical care, options education for unplanned pregnancies, decision support, emotional support, community referrals, post abortion care, parenting education and sexual health education to approximately 6,500 students per school year. A Beacon of Hope strategically utilizes a nationally- recognized "linear patient service model" to ensure the patients receive optimal medical care. In 2017, A Beacon of Hope became the first medically-accredited p

What it reported doing in 2024

The Bridge Classes and individual education provided through A Beacon of Hope's Long-Term Care Program allow patients, who have courageously chosen to continue their unplanned pregnancies and parent their children, the support system they need. Often overwhelmed with fear and lacking a support system, qualifying patients will be thrilled to receive nearly three years of education and practical support through the Bridge Long-Term Care Program until their child reaches two years of age. By attending parenting classes, new moms earn "Baby Bucks" to shop for critical baby supplies in the baby & me boutique such as diapers, wipes, baby clothes, toys, cribs and car seats. Group classes are offered five nights per month in two locations, with dinner and childcare provided for all attendees. In addition, individual classes are offered during business hours to meet our patients' diverse scheduling needs. Topics include CPR training, crib and car seat training, child development, positive discipline, relationship education, budget and finance education, etc. Every patient that has a positive pregnancy test is offered Social Services in addition to the first trimester care offered medically. Social Services provides patients, who have courageously chosen to continue their unplanned pregnancies and parent their children, with the support system they need. Often overwhelmed with fear and lacking home-based support, patients are thrilled to receive up to three years of education and practical support. The Bridge attendees love the community of support that Bridge provides, connecting them to other mothers and to Beacon Team Members who provide a safety net during this new chapter in life. The goal for Bridge is to empower new families to transition from crisis to stability, so they can become contributing members of the community. In 2024, approximately 26 new mothers participated in the Bridge Program and earned "Baby Bucks" to purchase hundreds of items from the Beacon Baby & Me Boutique. Donors help minimize program expenses by donating meals for class attendees, and by donating new and gently used items to stock the Baby & Me Boutique. Expenses for this program include childcare, meals, training materials, and salaries for three part-time coordinators. In addition, cribs and car seats must be newly purchased according to federal regulations.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up and most voting board members are independent. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised.
