Covenant Care Services

What Covenant Care Services does

Covenant Care Services (also known as Covenant Care Adoptions) is a private 501(c)(3) nonprofit, state-licensed Christian adoption and counseling agency headquartered in Macon, Georgia, founded in 1989. The organization provides free, comprehensive adoption-related services to birth mothers facing unexpected pregnancies — including pregnancy options counseling, family matching, hospital birth planning, legal paperwork support, and lifelong post-adoption support — and subsidized domestic infant adoption services to adoptive families across Georgia. Service delivery is counselor-led and mobile: six strategically located counselors cover Atlanta, Athens, Augusta, Savannah, Valdosta, and Macon, with a 24/7 phone/text hotline (478-475-4990) as the primary intake channel. The agency does not license any proprietary technology platform; operations run on human counselor relationships, paper and digital case records, and standard nonprofit donor management systems.

The business model is hybrid. Adoptive families pay placement fees covering roughly one-third of the actual cost of an adoption; the remaining two-thirds is subsidized through individual and corporate donations, church giving, planned gifts, stock transfers, and fundraising events. Birth mothers receive all services free of charge, with financial support (housing, living expenses) routed directly to payees rather than disbursed as cash. Go-to-market is community-led: a 24/7 helpline captures crisis-pregnancy intake, while a faith-based referral network — churches, pregnancy resource centers, OB/GYNs, hospitals, BraveLove, and the Abortion Pill Rescue Network — supplies the bulk of prospective clients and donor support. Digital channels (Wix website, Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, blog) function as a top-of-funnel educational layer.

At steady state, Covenant Care serves roughly 150-200 women per year and completes approximately 25 adoptions annually, with cumulative adoptions exceeding 675 since founding. The agency is accredited by the Christian Adoption Alliance and holds memberships in the Georgia Association of Licensed Adoption Agencies and the Georgia Center for Nonprofits. Geographic scope is intentionally limited to Georgia, both by regulation and by an explicit eligibility requirement that prospective adoptive families reside in-state. The organization is governed by an independent board, has no parent company, and is not backed by venture capital or private equity.

Revenue model

1. Adoption Service Fees (Adoptive Families): Adoptive families pay adoption fees that cover approximately one-third of the actual cost of making an adoption happen. The remaining two-thirds is subsidized through donations and fundraising. This creates a hybrid revenue model where adoptive families contribute a portion while the nonprofit relies heavily on charitable giving to sustain operations.
2. Individual and Corporate Donations: Covenant Care Services is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit that relies on generous individuals, churches, and businesses to donate time and money. Donations cover the majority of operating costs not funded by adoption fees. The organization accepts online donations, checks by mail, planned giving, and non-cash gifts including stock and frequent flier miles.
3. Fundraising Events: The organization hosts fundraising events and conferences to raise money for operations. Donors and community supporters attend these events which contribute to the approximately two-thirds of the annual budget covered by community support.
4. Free Services for Birth Mothers (Cost Recovery via Donations): All adoption-related services for birth mothers are provided at no cost. Costs are covered through the donations and fundraising from the community support model, allowing the organization to serve women regardless of financial circumstances.
