Overview

Mission

Pregnancy testing&abortion alternatives

What it reported doing in 2024

Support to women who find themselves in an unintended pregnancy with little to no support. Provide life affirming options, parenting education & emotional encouragement.

Operating model

Revenue model
Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
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. A relatively small share of total spending goes to programs and expenses are high relative to revenue.
