Overview

Mission

Service & assistance to individuals dealing with pregnancy and newborn children.

What it reported doing in 2024

Assist individuals in choosing alternatives to abortion: as a pro-life center, it is our hope that clients will make an informed decision regarding the options for their unplanned pregnancies (abortion, adoption, or carry to term & parent the baby) using factual pregnancy health information, each client is treated with respect, given non-judgmental and compassionate understanding about their situation, and offered friendship, mentoring, and help for their physical, emotional, and spiritual needs.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 65% 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 fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised.
