Charting impact

Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.

Expand a coalition of initiatives across the Southwest which together end the perceived need for abortion until it is no longer profitable or sustainable through regional social entrepreneurism, innovative charity, and engaging leadership.

Remove trauma from women’s healthcare and reveal the expectation on women to alter, suppress, and destroy the normal healthy functions of their natural body by being both a voice and provider of wholistic women’s healthcare and support focused on fertility, pregnancy, childbirth, breastfeeding, and motherhood.

(1) We are extremely cooperative and will work to build up other organizations for success even at our own loss, because our mission is bigger than ourselves. (2) Unlike many nonprofits, we have an entrepreneurial growth mindset, never be satisfied with the status quo and are always looking for the next big initiative to accomplish our larger mission with a strong focus on marketing and business strategies. (3) While some nonprofits are focused in just one city with limited reach, and national organizations can be disconnected from the local issue, we believe a regional approach is the sweet spot, because we are able to unite supporters across city and state lines to mobilize thousands for maximum impact at the local level.

In seven years, we have raised millions of dollars and seen three local abortion centers closed in just over three years, launched a mobile medical bus, and acquired a medical clinic which we are rapidly expanding to become a model of life-affirming women's healthcare for the nation.
