Overview

Mission

Avenues provides a network of care to those experiencing pregnancy related crisis and compassionately present Biblical truth resulting in changed lives to the glory of God.

What it reported doing in 2024

The organization has one sole purpose, to provide services to expectant mothers as described above.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 83% 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.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up and a large share of available resources goes toward mission work. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised.
