Overview

Mission

To encourage women and families facing an unplanned pregnancy to choose life, by serving them before, during, and after with Christ-like compassion. Our goal is to help families make an educated decision about unplanned pregnancy. We do this by providing truthful information about parenting, adoption, and abortion.

What it reported doing in 2024

Advice & Aid Pregnancy Centers provides limited medical services as well as education to families facing an unplanned pregnancy at no charge. Some of the services include pregnancy testing, sonograms, STD/STI testing and treatment, post-abortive care, early pregnancy consultation, and abortion pill reversal. Our Social Workers provide care management for clients who might need material/financial assistance or referrals for additional community resources. We educate families through our peer counseling, parenting programs, and individual education classes. In 2024, our staff served 801 individuals at 2,437 visits. Our team performed 719 pregnancy tests. 444 individuals were tested for STD/STIs and 52 received treatment. Our licensed medical professionals performed 762 sonograms for the purpose of determining the viability of the pregnancy. We had 69 clients participate in an early pregnancy consultation. Fourteen women came in for post-abortion assessment. With the abortion pill reversal protocol, we treated three individuals in the hope of reversing the effects of the first abortion pill and all three successfully continued their pregnancies. We had over 300 individuals participate in our education programs, and we provide childcare for our weekly parenting classes. Our care management team served 76 clients at 443 visits and provided $170,000 in material and financial aid. By 1/31/2025 (the deadline we use) we had learned of 232 babies born during 2024 to women we served.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 97% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.
  • Includes noncash contributions: Reported contributions include donated property or goods.

The verdict

STRONG - 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.
