Overview

Mission

Spoon River Pregnancy Center provides no-cost pregnancy testing, limited ultrasounds, parenting and fatherhood education, and material assistance to support individuals and families facing pregnancy and early-parenting needs.

What it reported doing in 2025

Parenting education, sonograms, volunteer services, client education, and supplies for clients--e.g., diapers, baby clothes, cribs, and other infant care items.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 98% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 95% 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 most voting board members are independent. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and a relatively small share of total spending goes to programs.
