One of the most common questions I get asked is, “How can my marketing speak to both clients and donors simultaneously?”
First, make sure that the objective is clear with the donor ahead of time. Is this an appreciation meeting? Is it a getting-to-know-you meeting? Is it a solicitation? In your pre-meeting communication, be sure to make this clear, so it’s not a surprise to the donor. What if you say it’s an “appreciation” meeting, and the donor – at the end of the meeting – says: “Well, what you’ve said is really impressive… would you like to ask for a donation?” Exercise respect with your donors and say, “Well, that’s not what we came here for; I’d rather not change the point of the meeting.” Feel free to follow up in an email or phone call, though, and make an ask, but – in general – it’s not good to change the point of the meeting mid-meeting.
By law, these organizations are mandated to distribute a minimum 5% payout of their assets annually, though many are even more generous, with 75% paying out more than the required minimum. Despite this capital availability, finding them requires strategy. As stated, only 10% of family foundations maintain a public website. However, every single one of them is required to file a Form 990 with the IRS, which serves as your ultimate transparency tool.
God will not leave nor forsake the dreamers who wish to make the world a better place. Pregnancy Help Medical Clinics provide compassionate, honest care for women and families, empowering them to make the healthiest choices possible for everyone involved in an unexpected pregnancy.
In John 6 when the Pharisees brought the woman caught in the act of adultery to Jesus, His immediate response was to go down to the ground and touch the dirt — the place of her humanity. Instead of the judgement the Pharisees had hoped for, Jesus went to where she was. He was not shocked by her sin. And this is exactly how PHMCs serve women.
Nurses who serve on the frontlines get into the dirt with the clients. We meet them and serve them exactly where they are, even when things are messy. And we get dirty. We feel their pain; we carry them in our hearts; and we walk through the fiery trials with them. This is the harder way to serve — but it is God's way.
We carry them everywhere. We wake up in the night worrying over each family we have served. We are always hoping for the best for them, feeling His love towards them. We willingly carry those burdens that are often too heavy for women to carry alone.
Bear one another's burdens and so fulfill the law of Christ. Galatians 6:2
But Jesus did not stay there in the dirt with her. Rising up out of the dirt, He defended her, showed her grace, and then challenged her to sin no more. He demonstrated His full grace — giving her mercy and love despite her sin — and His full truth — giving her the realization that there is a better life for her.
What happened 2,000 years ago continues to happen in 2026 in Pregnancy Help Organizations worldwide. Our teams continue to offer full grace — loving every client who enters our doors, showing them compassion when sin deceives them, and encouraging them when life overwhelms them. At the same time, we will continue to offer full truth — challenging them with accurate information, inspiring them with the possibilities that await them, and praising them as they find freedom in new beginnings.
PHMCs will continue to make those ripples, those splashes, and sometimes even a tidal wave in order to reach and rescue as many lives as possible, around the world. Together we will strive to make abortion unwanted today and unthinkable for future generations. We will maintain the strength, the patience, and the passion of that first dreamer to change the world one heart at a time.
and minds through education, compassionate counseling, and the message of hope found in the Gospel.
