Overview

Mission

Case management support for families carrying a baby to term after receiving a prenatal diagnosis, outreach for parents requesting information and support after loss of an infant or after the birth of a living child with a disability, and training programs for other organizations that desire to provide similar support locally.

What it reported doing in 2025

Forty-one families were provided with outreach (11) and/or referrals (30) to related service providers for case management support. Graduated seventeen trainees at various organizations in eight different states through our online training program. Ongoing mentoring and service development provided to organizations developing Be Not Afraid modeled services.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 87% 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

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Expenses are high relative to revenue and program spending has declined or grown slowly.
