Real Options

What Real Options does

Real Options is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that has provided free, confidential pregnancy support services in the North Dallas / Collin County area for over 30 years. The organization is headquartered in Allen, Texas, and serves women facing unplanned pregnancies regardless of age, race, income, nationality, religious affiliation, or circumstances. Its core product offering consists of five free clinical services: pre-abortion screening, lab-quality pregnancy testing, obstetrical sonograms reviewed by an OB-GYN medical director, abortion pill reversal using off-label progesterone, and STI screening for gonorrhea and chlamydia. These clinical services are wrapped by an extensive educational content library covering the abortion pill, adoption, emergency contraception, and parenting options, plus support programs including ROAR (post-abortion recovery), Elite Dads (fatherhood mentoring), parenting classes with rewards points, and referrals to community resources such as housing, food pantries, and domestic violence hotlines.

The business operates through three fixed clinic locations (Allen, Melissa, and Dallas) and two mobile clinic units serving Carrollton and Plano on a weekly rotation. Services are appointment-based, with walk-in availability where schedules permit, and are accessed via phone (972-424-4357), SMS, or the website. The underlying technology stack is conventional: standard clinical equipment, a content/SEO-driven website, and basic scheduling tools; no proprietary technology platform is disclosed. Real Options does not perform or refer for abortions per Texas law, and its geographic footprint is intentionally limited to North Texas.

Real Options runs a donation- and grant-funded freemium model in which all client-facing services are provided at no charge. There is no revenue from patient fees, no public revenue disclosure, no funding rounds, no parent company, and no commercial investor backing. Revenue mechanics are entirely philanthropic: charitable donations, grants, and likely board-led fundraising sustain operations. The go-to-market motion is direct-to-consumer, driven by organic search, community referrals, healthcare-provider referrals, Facebook/Instagram organic presence, and word-of-mouth, rather than paid acquisition. The customer base is exclusively individual women (with secondary engagement of expectant fathers), so customer concentration in the commercial sense is effectively zero; the financial risk profile is instead shaped by donor concentration, which is undisclosed.
