What Alternatives Pregnancy Center does
Mission
It is our mission to provide women with medical care and alternatives to abortion as we proclaim the hope of the Gospel.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Programs
Provided 3,127 appointments to women in the community. It is our mission to provide women with free medical care and life-affirming alternatives to abortion while proclaiming the hope of the Gospel. It is important to us that the obstetric and gynecological care we offer is as accessible to women as possible, which is why we provide around $2 million worth of FREE medical services each year. These services include pregnancy tests, ultrasounds, OB/GYN care, prenatal care, pap smears, breast exams, STD testing/treatment, and so much more. Alternatives is here to serve any women who need quality medical care and emotional support as they face some of the most difficult times of their lives.
$1,086,457 spent100% of program spendingServed 200 clients in the Parenting Program and 3 clients in Abortion Recovery Classes. Our Parenting Program helps equip women as they prepare to step into motherhood. Our curriculum covers a wide range of topics from breastfeeding and prenatal development to spiritual health and fostering healthy relationships. Our Abortion Recovery Group is led by our Clinic Nurse Lead and Parenting Program lead and is designed to come alongside women who want to experience healing from a past abortion.
Gifted 750 clients with free material items, such as diapers, wipes, and baby clothes. At Alternatives, we believe that support does not end in the medical room. We understand that there are still needs that must be met, and we want to ensure that women are able to properly care for themselves and their babies. Through the Parenting Program, we help meet the material needs of our clients so that they can confidently step into motherhood.
Administered 822 pregnancy tests and gave ultrasounds to 935 patients. Pregnancy is one of the most life-changing events to happen in a womans life. It is important to us that we come alongside women in the early stages of pregnancy so that we can help shepherd them through a decision that will change their lives forever. Most women faced with unplanned pregnancies do not realize that there are alternatives to abortion; they are not aware of the support systems and resources that are accessible to them. Because of this, it is important to us that we educate our clients on all the available options and empower them to choose life for their babies. 80% of women choose life after viewing their ultrasound alone, so we are happy to serve women in this way.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2017, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2017, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2021 to 2022, from $1.6M to $3.7M (+125%).
How it's funded, over time
Each bar is one year's revenue split into where it came from, and every bar is the same height — these are shares, not amounts, so a year that raised twice as much looks the same size. Hover a bar for the split.
Government-grant reliance: 2021 4% · 2024 4%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 1 of the last 8 reported years ran a deficit.

Leadership and staff
The officers, directors, trustees and key employees listed on each return. Joined and no longer listed compare each filing with the year before, matching people by surname and first initial; a year after a gap, or a roster under three people, has no comparison.
Who funds it, year by year
2018 → 2023: the base broadened from 4 funders to 13 funders, grant income rose $30k → $170k.
8 of 28 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 25% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.
From the IRS filings of Alternatives Pregnancy Center’s funders (the co-funder graph). Top 26 of 28 funders by total. Association, not causation. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
How concentrated its funding is
Alternatives Pregnancy Center has a broad base — no single funder exceeds 22% of grant income, and it takes 5 funders to reach half.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 5 funders to its left
53% of the income these shares are computed over arrives through pass-through sponsors or from payers whose filings do not say what kind of payment it is. Concentration is still measured over all of it, because the money is real; what it does not support is a claim about how many institutions have chosen to fund Alternatives Pregnancy Center.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2018 62% · 2019 36% · 2020 33% · 2021 21% · 2022 41% · 2023 17% — diversifying over time.
“Effective funders” = inverse Herfindahl index (1 / Σ shareᵢ²) — the number of equal-sized funders that would give the same concentration. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
How long its funders stay
73% of Alternatives Pregnancy Center's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 71% give in more than one year at all.
Share of funders still giving k years after their first recorded grant, pooled across every acquisition cohort. A funder counts as retained in a year only if it made a grant that year. Measured to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving — a funder cannot be counted as lapsed in a year most filers have not reached.
Where its funders are
Alternatives Pregnancy Center draws 68% of its grant income from funders outside California, across 7 states in all.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $287k arriving through sponsors registered in 5 states is excluded from the map and the split above: a sponsor holds money on a donor’s behalf, so its registered address would place those dollars somewhere no donor need ever have been. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
