Overview

Mission

Provide assistance to those, of all ages, involved in a crisis pregnancy by empowering them to make life choices consistent with the sanctity of human life from conception through natural death.

What it reported doing in 2024

Our three main program areas are medical, education/counseling, and material support. Our medical services start with pregnancy tests. If the test is positive, the client will receive an ultrasound for the purpose of confirming and dating the pregnancy. We then refer the client to see a doctor and seek other medical resources. The center also tests for sexually transmitted infections (sti). The tests are offered to men and women (pregnant or not). We also have a mobile unit that goes to surrounding towns to provide pregnancy tests, ultrasounds, and sti testing for clients that don't have transportation to come to the center in jefferson city. The educational services are group classes, one-on-one sessions, and online classes. Classes are on a variety of topics including prenatal care, nutrition and wellness, and parentening at various stages. The center also has a program called sexual risk avoidance. This is taught in middle school classrooms to guide students to make positive choices for sexual health. Counseling services are provided by licensed professional counselors free of charge. Material support includes referals to other agencies, shopping in the baby boutique, and earning rewards for completing classes and other positive behaviors. The baby boutique has clothes, toys, blankets, diapers, wipes, and many other baby items. All services are free.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 97% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 98% 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 - A large share of total spending goes to programs and the filed numbers largely add up. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filing reports few safeguards for money sent abroad.
