Abria Pregnancy Resources

What Abria Pregnancy Resources does

Abria Pregnancy Resources is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) women's health clinic operating two physical locations in the Minneapolis-St. Paul metropolitan area (St. Paul on University Avenue West and Northside Minneapolis on West Broadway Avenue). Founded in 1975, the organization provides no-cost, confidential pregnancy-related medical and support services under the direction of a licensed board-certified physician and registered nurses. Core medical offerings include lab-quality pregnancy testing, limited obstetric ultrasounds (to confirm pregnancy viability, gestational age, and location), and gonorrhea/chlamydia testing. Beyond medical services, Abria delivers options counseling covering parenting, adoption, and abortion information (without performing or referring for abortions), one-on-one life coaching, structured education programs (Abria Empowers and Abria Equips), a Material Assistance "Earn While You Learn" rewards program, referrals to community resources, and post-abortive support.

The organization targets women facing unplanned pregnancies in the Twin Cities and their support persons, acquiring clients through healthcare provider referrals, community partner referrals, word-of-mouth, and a content/SEO presence via its website blog. All services are provided free of charge at the point of care, with no telehealth or remote delivery.

Abria's business model is donation-based rather than fee-for-service. As a 501(c)(3), it is funded through charitable contributions and grants (with a donor portal linked on the website), and does not generate client revenue. The organization is privately held with no disclosed funding rounds, no investors, no parent company, and no M&A activity. Headcount is stated at 11-50 employees, and the organization explicitly disclaims affiliation with similarly named entities (Abria Detox, Abria Recovery).
