Mission and programs · 2024

Mission

Life Network provides support and mentoring to women and men facing unexpected pregnancies; offers parenting support, material resources, and referrals; and promotes sexual risk avoidance through education to foster a culture that values life.

Activities or mission (Part I)

Life Network exists to cultivate a community that values life through the love of Christ.

  • Colorado Springs Pregnancy Centers: A foundational Life Network priority is to support women and men who are facing an unexpected pregnancy. We provide medical-grade pregnancy tests, educational information, ultrasounds, early pregnancy care, and STD testing and treatment under the direction of our Medical Director. Last year, we provided the following no-cost services: 1,841 pregnancy tests, 1,307 ultrasounds, and 620 STI tests. Our patients also received support through community referrals for housing, food emergency assistance, and other related services. Our Parenting Program provides opportunities for ongoing one-on-one mentorship, parenting and childbirth classes, and extensive material resources. Last year, we had 3,128 parenting appointments with mothers and fathers. Bridges of Hope, our post-abortive care program helps women and men process, grieve, and heal from past abortions.

    Expenses $2,615,643 · Grants $87,014 · Revenue $37,844

  • Life Network Family Thrift Stores: Our two thrift stores provide quality, affordable goods to our surrounding community, and the proceeds from the stores benefit our life-giving ministry. Life Network clients earn and receive "store bucks" that can be used for furniture, clothes, furnishings, and more as they start their families.

    Expenses $847,922 · Revenue -$135,626

  • Education for a Lifetime: This in-school program provides comprehensive education on healthy relationships, suicide awareness and prevention, and mental health awareness. Last year, we taught more than 7,000 students in 31 middle and high schools.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us.
