Each regional coordinator is required to bring campus tour displays to universities and colleges in their regions, both in the fall and spring semesters. The campus tours provide in-depth training to the sfl groups and equips them on the most pressing issues for millennials regarding abortion. Each campus tour comes with one-on-one group training, national and local media press releases, 5-6 display panels, postcards, and the regional coordinator presence with the sfl group at the display. Campus tours improve the quality of sfl groups through equipping and working with them one-on-one to engage their campuses in a direct manner.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2019, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2019, 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 2019 to 2020, from $244k to $1.1M (+341%).
