Overview

Mission

Provide no charge life-affirming services to women with pregnancy-related concerns.

What it reported doing in 2024

Life forward helps women and their families with pregnancy related concerns through consultation on options, pregnancy testing, 3d/4d ultrasounds, referrals to community services, education, and support.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 96% 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. Fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised and some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
