Piedmont Women's Center

What Piedmont Women's Center does

Piedmont Women's Center (PWC) is a faith-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit pregnancy medical clinic founded in 1991 and headquartered at 1143 Grove Road, Greenville, South Carolina. The organization operates three clinic locations across the Upstate (Greenville, Greer, and Piedmont/Powdersville) and serves women facing unexpected pregnancies, their partners, women who have experienced child loss (miscarriage, infant loss, past abortion), and new and expectant parents. All clinical and support services are provided at no cost to clients with no insurance, payment, or proof of income required, and the organization explicitly does not refer to abortion providers.

Core medical services include medical-grade urine pregnancy testing (99% accuracy, detecting hCG as early as one day after a missed period), limited OB ultrasound imaging performed by licensed RN or registered diagnostic medical sonographers and interpreted by a medical doctor, STI screening and referrals, well-woman exams including Pap smears, and on-site nurse practitioner and physician assistant care. Adjunct services include adoption referrals through six faith-based partner agencies, parenting education via Triple P and BrightCourse/E-3 curricula, child loss support groups, Baby Bundles material assistance, and Medicaid/WIC application help. Underlying technology is modest and clinical: ultrasound imaging for gestational assessment, Acuity-based online scheduling, Stripe-powered online donations, and text-to-donate infrastructure.

The business model is a donation- and event-funded nonprofit. Revenue streams comprise individual charitable donations (online, mail, stock transfer, text-to-give), church-coordinated giving (Baby Bottle Campaign, approximately $25 per filled bottle), tiered business sponsorships ($1,500 Peace to $15,000+ Title) for the Born to Run 5K and Night for Life dinner, peer-to-peer fundraising, and event registration ($30 adult / $10 Kids Fun Run). Distribution is direct-to-client via walk-ins and appointments at the three clinics, with demand generation through church partnerships, social media (Facebook, Instagram, YouTube), the Special Delivery newsletter, blog content, and an ambassador/volunteer program supported by a semester-based internship pipeline.

Broad incumbents

• Care Net: National affiliation network of more than 1,100 pregnancy resource centers providing free pregnancy testing, ultrasounds, and decision support. Comparable to PWC as a faith-based, nonprofit pregnancy medical clinic model, though Care Net operates as an umbrella rather than a single clinic.
• Heartbeat International: Global network of pregnancy help organizations and the world's largest affiliation of pro-life pregnancy centers. Comparable to PWC in mission and service mix (pregnancy testing, ultrasounds, parenting support) at a national affiliation level rather than as a direct single-site competitor.
• Planned Parenthood: National nonprofit operating the largest U.S. network of reproductive health clinics, providing pregnancy testing, ultrasounds, STI screening, well-woman exams, contraception, and abortion services. Overlaps with PWC in core medical services but with a broader reproductive-health mandate and significantly larger scale.

Direct peers

• Birthright International: Volunteer-based, nonprofit pregnancy support service offering free pregnancy testing, counseling, and material assistance at local chapters. Operates the same freemium model as PWC and serves a similar client segment of women facing unexpected pregnancies.
• CompassCare Pregnancy Services: Faith-based nonprofit operating multiple pregnancy medical clinics with ultrasound and STI services in the U.S. Northeast. Closely comparable service offering, faith-based positioning, and pro-life stance to Piedmont Women's Center.
• Save the Storks: Nonprofit that places mobile ultrasound units outside abortion clinics and partners with local pregnancy centers to deliver medical-grade ultrasound services. Comparable because it shares the pregnancy-center ultrasound service model that PWC delivers through its limited OB ultrasound program.
• Real Options for Women: Faith-based nonprofit pregnancy resource center offering free pregnancy testing, ultrasounds, parenting education, and material support. Closely comparable in service mix, faith-based positioning, and freemium model to PWC.
• The Alpha Center: Faith-based nonprofit pregnancy medical clinic offering free pregnancy testing, ultrasounds, STI testing, parenting classes, and post-abortion support. Highly comparable to PWC across services, faith-based positioning, and pro-life stance.

Others

• National Institute of Family and Life Advocates (NIFLA): Trade and training association for pregnancy resource centers, providing legal support, medical protocols, and training to member centers such as PWC. Functions as an industry enabler for the same pregnancy-center category in which Piedmont Women's Center operates.
• Option Line: 24/7 contact center operated by Heartbeat International that connects callers to the nearest pregnancy resource center, including centers like PWC. Functions as a referral/inbound channel peer that drives client traffic into the same pregnancy-center model.
