“Save The Storks had two very successful fundraising initiatives in 2018 that allowed us to increase our donor impact and reach in a greater way than expected. As a result, our programs could not grow at the same pace to keep our Program allocation at the highest possible level. Moving into 2019 & 2020 the goal is to reignite our focus on utilizing this new funding growth to more effectively grow and sustain our programs.”

“FY 2018 ORGANIZATIONAL MISSION STATEMENT The mission at Save the Storks is to revolutionize the meaning of pro-life. Stork sponsor growth in 2018 more than doubled, with approximately 3,865 new monthly donors. In 2016, we had 2,598 Stork sponsors. In 2017 we ended with a total of 3,410 Stork sponsors, and in 2018 we ended with a total of 7,275 Stork sponsors. The Need for Save the Storks Every day in the United States, nearly 2,000 abortions take place. Women are told that being pro-choice is their "right and society gives the impression that "my body, my choice" equates to an abortion being the only option for women facing an unwanted pregnancy. According to the Centers for Disease & Control/U.S. Department of Health & Human Services (2014): - Women in their twenties account for the majority of abortions. - Women with no previous live births accounted for 40.4% of abortions - Women with one or more previous live births accounted for 59.5% of abortions Other statistics: - One in three women in the United States will have an abortion before she turns 45 - 75% of women who have abortions live in poverty - 64% of women who have had abortions felt pressured by others to abort - 54% of women who have had abortions said they were unsure about their decision at the time - 79% of women reported that they did not receive counseling on other options - Post-abortive women report suicidal thoughts, anxiety and signs of PTSD - 73.8% of women experienced "pressure" to abort their babies - 58.3% chose abortion "to make others happy" Planned Parenthood receives over $1.3 billion in funding and donations annually, with $833 million from government revenue and health services. In addition to financial support from the United States government, the following corporations have contributed money directly to Planned Parenthood: - Allstate - American Express - Avon - Bank of America - Bath & Body Works - Charles Schwab - Craigslist - Dockers - Energizer - ExxonMobil - Frito Lay - General Electric - Jiffy Lube - Johnson & Johnson (brands include baby shampoo, lotion, and dozens of baby products) - Kraft Heinz - Microsoft - Mondelez International (brands include children's favorite snacks: Chips Ahoy!, Oreo, Nabisco, Cadbury, Toblerone chocolate) Google repeatedly serves up favorable returns that depict abortions as a friendly, positive right. Verbiage on the results page for pro-choice mentions "top stories and "abortion-rights movement" with a photo of people smiling holding a sign. In contrast, the term "pro-life" in a Google search returns negative terminology such as "anti-abortion and "activist and images that portrays angry protestors. The need is greater now than ever to come alongside abortion-vulnerable women in the United States who are continually bombarded with untruths and twisted facts from Planned Parenthood and other liberal-leaning corporations who position themselves as mainstream. Planned Parenthood spent millions supporting lobbyists and democrats in the 2016 elections and reportedly spends nearly $200 million a year on marketing and advertising. Save the Storks has helped save the lives of thousands of babies since 2010 and by the end of 2018 over 5,000 lives were saved on Stork Buses. In addition to partnering with PRCs who offer programs for abortion-vulnerable women, Save the Storks made significant investments in 2018 in an effort to revolutionize the pro-life movement and transform the hearts and minds of Americans. Below is a list of the programs and ministries Save the Storks supported: Living Room Reset with Kirk Cameron Heartbeat Video, seen by millions on Facebook and YouTube Stork Ball The marketing and development teams hosted the first annual pro-life gala in Washington, DC, at Museum of the Bible, the night before March for Life.
