Overview

Mission

East Texas pregnancy help center is a christian charitable organization whose mission is to provide eternal hope, as well as physical, spiritual and emotional assistance to women and families experiencing pregnancy or related concerns. Our mission is based on a commitment to jesus christ and expressing his love and compassion for others in a non-judgmental manner which empowers women and their partners to choose life.

What it reported doing in 2025

Limited ultrasound - provided pregnant women with information regarding the viability of their pregnancy, location of the pregnancy, cardiac activity, and gestational age of their babies. The information is provided to assist each woman in making an informed decision regarding her pregnancy.

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. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and reported officer compensation is a large share of total spending, which may reflect staffing concentration.
