What Alternatives Yes does
Mission
The christ-centered mission is to help those facing pregnancy and to compassionately provide life-affirming services that protect and enhance their lives, their children, and their families through pregnancy and beyond.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Program
In 2023 we served 239 different individuals in 1,316 visits/appointments at our center. All served were people in need of extra help and support with their pregnancy and their infants. 92% of those served met the standard for living in poverty or were experiencing a crisis. Almst 50% of client visits/appointments included a parenting education class, all included emotional and tangible support. We empowered women and families with love, knowledge, education, and confidence in walking through their pregnancies and being a mother to an infant. We distributed new and used infant, maternity, and household supplies, to those servied. We opened a medical program and provided the following free medical services in 2023: (1) 18 pregnancy tests and options education; (2) 7 limited ultrasound for early preganacy detection; (3) prental vitamin distribution. We participated in several health fairs, church talks, andn other collaborative events held in the community to raise awareness. All items and services were provided free of charge.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2021, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2021, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2022 to 2023, from $114k to $213k (+87%).
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.
59% of ALTERNATIVES YES’s revenue is contributions — about as donation-reliant as the typical peer (91% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 1 of the last 4 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 1 funder to 4 funders, grant income rose $12k → $41k.
2 of 4 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 91% 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 YES’s funders (the co-funder graph). 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 YES leans on a few funders — its largest provides 91% of grant income and the top three 100%; half comes from just 1 funder.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
100% 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 YES.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2018 100% · 2019 100% · 2020 99% · 2021 99% · 2022 100% · 2023 68% — 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.
Where its funders are
91% of ALTERNATIVES YES's grant income arrives through donor-advised or pass-through sponsors, whose addresses record where the money is held rather than where the donor is. Of the $13k that is directly attributable, 98% of it comes from funders outside Pennsylvania, across 2 states.
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $137k arriving through sponsors registered in 2 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.
