Your Generosity at Work
We work diligently to ensure that every dollar goes as far as possible in providing support and resources for women facing unplanned pregnancies. With an average cost per client of $600, every woman who comes to Caris is offered our full range of services: free professional counseling, pregnancy tests, ultrasound exams, support groups and referrals to practical resources.
Two out of three women chose to parent or place for adoption (Based on known outcomes of women who were pregnant and considering abortion when coming to Caris.)
Our programs continue to be effective as we strive to reach more woman who are facing an unplanned pregnancy. It's these life-changing results that continue to compel us to be good stewards of all of our resources.
- 82% of the pregnant women coming to Caris are facing an unplanned pregnancy
- 71% of the pregnant women we serve are in vulnerable situations that could negatively impact them and their child
EVERY woman who comes to Caris is offered professional Counseling and Connection to ongoing support.
Our programs continue to provide almost 3,000 women each year with hope for their, as well as their child’s, future. This is what compels us to wisely steward resources as we opened a new site in the Chicago Loop to serve the women of Cook County facing unplanned pregnancies.

As part of this value, we carefully monitor and review our programs and expenses. We strive to efficiently and effectively utilize our resources and leverage funds for maximum impact.
