Life Network

What Life Network does

Life Network is a 501(c)(3) Christian nonprofit ministry founded in 1983/1984 and headquartered in Colorado Springs, Colorado, with 11-50 employees and an EIN of 84-0970592. The organization operates four pregnancy centers and two Family Thrift Stores across Colorado Springs, Peyton, and Falcon, delivering free medical and support services to women facing unplanned pregnancies, expectant fathers, men in the community, and post-abortive women and men. Core medical services include pregnancy testing, ultrasounds, STD testing, options counseling, one-on-one parenting coaching, fatherhood mentoring, baby supplies, and the Bridges of Hope post-abortion recovery program, supported by 8 staff Registered Nurses and 20 credentialed medical professionals overseen by an OBGYN medical director with 6,000+ local deliveries.

The underlying service platform is operationally rather than technologically differentiated: it relies on conventional medical equipment (ultrasound machines, pregnancy tests), a WordPress website with donation portals (FundEasy, FlexFormz), paid search/SEM as the primary client acquisition channel (65% of clients, ~$15 per woman reached), and a growing owned-media layer including the LifeCast weekly podcast launched February 2025. The product portfolio spans Colorado Springs Pregnancy Centers, Bridges of Hope, Motherhood and Fatherhood programs, Men's Services, the Education for a Lifetime student outreach, Family Thrift Stores, the LifeCast podcast, and the annual Walk for Life event. Integration with 13+ church partners and a volunteer network reinforces community-based service delivery.

Life Network's revenue model is donation-driven rather than transactional. All pregnancy center services are provided free of charge. Funding streams include individual one-time and monthly (Partners for Life) donations, annual Walk for Life fundraising (the 2026 event raised $763,000 toward a $775,000 goal with 2,500+ walkers and 30+ local business sponsors), thrift store proceeds, planned giving via donor-advised funds and legacy programs, and grants. The organization holds ECFA accreditation, Charity Navigator and Candid Platinum transparency ratings, and GreatNonprofits Top-Rated recognition, with 79.4% of funding directed to programs per independent audit. Recent operational expansion (Eastside center in November 2024, Falcon thrift store in January 2025) reflects active regional growth within the Colorado Springs metropolitan area.
