Overview

Mission

Pregnancy Counseling and Education

What it reported doing in 2024

Community Outreach Program: Provides volunteers to distribute center information explaining abortion alternatives to businesses, organizations and individuals; prepare and distribute educational material including newsletters, updates and pamphlets; volunteers at the center and assist at community events.

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 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.
