Choices is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization serving women and men in Chattanooga, Tennessee, facing unexpected pregnancies since 1985. Every day, the staff and volunteers have the privilege of providing medically-accurate information and compassionate care so each patient can make an informed pregnancy decision. In FY 2023 - 2024, Choices provided 1,119 urine pregnancy tests, 788 ultrasounds, and 1,108 limited STI tests. We also provided 415 hCG pregnancy tests, 66 prenatal visits and had 3 patients pursue abortion pill reversal, totaling 8 appointments. Choices Family Services program saw a total of 1,953 family services appointments for moms and dads. A record number of moms and dads completed Choices' Earn While you Learn program (62), and the Next Steps parenting program (parenting support through age 3) had 246 appointments, as well as 252 total visits for those seeking support and healing after an abortion. All services were provided at no cost to patients and clients.

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. Earlier years are each on their own filing page.

Nonprofiteer parses Forms 990, 990-EZ and 990-PF, in a window of recent tax years. These returns are recorded from the IRS e-file index, so their figures were extracted by that index rather than read from the return here — treat them as a different source from the filings above, not as more of the same record. A dash means the index carries no figure; Form 990-T listings carry none at all.
Grants made

Other IRS files
Auto-Revocation List
Not listed. The IRS publishes this list for organizations whose exemption was automatically revoked for failing to file for three consecutive years.
Publication 78
Listed as of 13 October 2026, under deductibility PC.
These are two separate IRS files on two separate schedules, shown as published and not reconciled with each other. Neither is a statement about whether a contribution is deductible today: 19,245 organizations appear in Publication 78 while the IRS's own revocation file lists them as currently revoked, more than half of those revoked before 2019. Absence from Publication 78 is evidence of nothing, and presence is not evidence either. Verify current status with the IRS before relying on it.
