Our goal to change hearts and minds about the topic of abortion continue to gain traction with successful campaigns on Facebook, Instagram and YouTube, and our following - and new donor support - grew exponentially. The ministry invested in the production of a 12-minute video that shared the post-abortive story of our spokeswoman with results that surpassed our expectations. While one of the goals was to raise funds for future programs, we were blown away by the comments of women - and men - who stated they were finally able to speak out about their past abortion. The healing that occured because of this video was an incredible blessing, and we believe this video was an early step in alerting church leaders to the need for post-abortive forgiveness and healing. Millions of people of all ages viewed the video on Facebook and YouTube, and a new conversation about what it means to be pro-life in 2018 was kicked-off. Save the Storks achieved milestones in 2018 on Facebook, reaching 250,000 followers, and Instagram, with over 25,000 followers by year-end. The "Celebrate Life" (brand) video reached 200,000 views on YouTube. 930000 395000 249383 Partnering with Pregnancy Resource Centers to Empower Women to Choose Life for Their BabiesSave the Storks partners with pregnancy resource centers (PRC) that provide abortion-vulnerable women education and free services, and empower mothers facing an unplanned pregnancy to choose life for their babies. We exist to serve pregnancy resource centers all over the nation, and provide them with powerful tools and training to more effectively connect with women - and men - in their communities. Thanks to the generosity of our donors, and in parntership with our affiliate pregnancy resource centers, we have built over 40 mobile medical units, also called Stork Buses, that reach women near abortion clinics, on college campuses, in rural areas and inner cities. Save the Storks has developed a unique way to reach abortion-vulnerable mothers with the Stork Bus. We've seen Stork Buses profoundly expand the reach and increase the impact of pregnancy resource centers all over the nation. These mobile medical units minimize the distance between the PRC and the women most in need of the services. The first year we had a Stork Bus on the road, we saw 394 women make a decision for life for their babies. In 2018, four out of five women who boarded a Stork Bus chose life after seeing their baby on the ultrasound and hearing the heartbeat, according to reports provided by participating affiliate PRCs. In 2018 we signed on 9 new pregnancy resource centers, built 8 Stork Buses and ended 2018 with a total of 47 Stork Buses at our affiliate PRCs. 659847 66354 EventsSave the Storks brought the mission of Revolutionizing the Meaning of Pro-life direct to the people with meaningful events. Most notable was Living Room Reset with Kirk Cameron, a tour that stops at churches around the country and speaks primarily to married couples looking for biblical instruction and encouragement related to their marriage and child-rearing. Summit Ministries, a program geared towards Christian teens/college students looking for a biblical perspective on real world issues, featured a tract taught by Save the Storks staff on being pro-life with love and compassion. The first annual Stork Ball took place at Museum of the Bible in Washington, DC, and was attended by influential Christian business leaders and celebrities. The staff and volunteers of Save the Storks participated in March for Life in Washington, DC in January 2018. 250768 56000 59009 StorkWorks ConsultingIn October of 2018 Save the Storks held the first annual Flyway Intensive Conference for Executive Directors in Colorado Springs from around the United States. 30 directors received full scholarships after applying to attend. They received high level content from experts in a variety of fields, including Fundraising, Client Marketing, Staffing, Leadership, and Culture Trends. They also participated in team building exercises, networking, and action planning lead by certified life coaches and CEO/Mentors. This week-long conference wrapped up with a banquet held to honor and encourage the attendees and bless their ministries financially. They were also extended an opportunity to participate in a year long StorkWorks Academy to continue growing as leaders. 250768 56000 59009 3047279 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 1 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 41 0 1 47 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 5 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 0 X Joseph Baker 9703878675 4050 Lee Vance View Drive No 300 Colorado Springs CO 80918 Joseph Baker CEO 40.00 X X 76577 0 103223 Ann Baker Co-Founder Secretary/Payroll 13.00 X X 15000 0 0 Herb McCarthy Chairman/Consultant 12.00 X X 16500 0 0 Rob Smith Treasurer/Consultant 12.00 X X 56500 0 0 Julie Beyel Board Member 3.00 X 0 0 0 John McCain Chief Financial Officer 40.00 X 94371 0 28000 Dianna Steele part year Vice President 40.00 X 107569 0 0 366517 0 131223 1 0 1 0 Harmon Brothers LLC 410 S University Ave Provo UT 84601 Video Production and Ad Spend 429500 The Tempus Collaborative PO Box 766 Odessa FL 33556 Consulting and Fundraising 381500 Carl Moeller 12606 Chianti Ct Colorado Springs CO 80921 Interim COO 154846 3 1507798 4021599 5529397 Affiliation Fee 900099 90000 90000 StorkWorks Consulting 900099 59009 59009 9750 9750 158759 1280 1280 52000 1507798 607428 -555428 -555428 1353138 1161354 191784 191784 1925 1925 1925 5327717 350543 0 -552223 X 521301 521301 390171 36500 3650 350021 1400331 807226 480901 112204 12775 6004 3577 3194 98119 46116 27473 24530 40344 20172 20172 2754 2754 128923 128923 736885 389170 45172 302543 853239 605725 1531 245983 470647 144298 54519 271830 33739 19371 5933 8435 121413 57064 33996 30353 490266 309655 33556 147055 21045 13027 2323 5695 33083 16078 13144 3861 23320 11591 11157 572 Event Sponsorship, Etc 44519 10648 6061 27810 Event Supplies 32497 24888 7609 Professional Developmen 10601 10601 13334 8445 4705 184 5479306 3047279 761225 1670802 X 766544 573983 0 192561 1420528 767330 411966 671616 34750 232750 315425 287874 386168 91098 195581 295070 1625 1625 230100 225090 2609975 2481355 38168 323981 590380 323235 628548 647216 X 544690 517694 1436737 1316445 1981427 1834139 2609975 2481355 -151589 4301 0 X 0 1 X 0 0 X 1377432 2432005 3689867 3628478 5529397 16657179 1377432 2432005 3689867 3628478 5529397 16657179 16657179 31 1304 2032 2872 1280 7519 472 53925 54397 16719095 5269901 0.99630 0.99450 X Schedule A, Part II, Line 10, Explanation of Other Income: Other Income - 2016 Amount: $ 472. 2018 Amount: $ 1,925.

Form 990, Part IX - Statement of Functional Allocation Save The Storks had two very successful fundraising initiatives in 2018 that allowed us to increase our donor impact and reach in a greater way than expected. As a result, our programs could not grow at the same pace to keep our Program allocation at the highest possible level. Moving into 2019 & 2020 the goal is to reignite our focus on utilizing this new funding growth to more effectively grow and sustain our programs. Schedule O - General Explanation Attachment FY 2018 ORGANIZATIONAL MISSION STATEMENT The mission at Save the Storks is to revolutionize the meaning of pro-life. Stork sponsor growth in 2018 more than doubled, with approximately 3,865 new monthly donors. In 2016, we had 2,598 Stork sponsors. In 2017 we ended with a total of 3,410 Stork sponsors, and in 2018 we ended with a total of 7,275 Stork sponsors. The Need for Save the Storks Every day in the United States, nearly 2,000 abortions take place. Women are told that being pro-choice is their "right and society gives the impression that "my body, my choice" equates to an abortion being the only option for women facing an unwanted pregnancy. According to the Centers for Disease & Control/U.S. Department of Health & Human Services (2014): - Women in their twenties account for the majority of abortions. - Women with no previous live births accounted for 40.4% of abortions - Women with one or more previous live births accounted for 59.5% of abortions Other statistics: - One in three women in the United States will have an abortion before she turns 45 - 75% of women who have abortions live in poverty - 64% of women who have had abortions felt pressured by others to abort - 54% of women who have had abortions said they were unsure about their decision at the time - 79% of women reported that they did not receive counseling on other options - Post-abortive women report suicidal thoughts, anxiety and signs of PTSD - 73.8% of women experienced "pressure" to abort their babies - 58.3% chose abortion "to make others happy" Planned Parenthood receives over $1.3 billion in funding and donations annually, with $833 million from government revenue and health services. In addition to financial support from the United States government, the following corporations have contributed money directly to Planned Parenthood: - Allstate - American Express - Avon - Bank of America - Bath & Body Works - Charles Schwab - Craigslist - Dockers - Energizer - ExxonMobil - Frito Lay - General Electric - Jiffy Lube - Johnson & Johnson (brands include baby shampoo, lotion, and dozens of baby products) - Kraft Heinz - Microsoft - Mondelez International (brands include children's favorite snacks: Chips Ahoy!, Oreo, Nabisco, Cadbury, Toblerone chocolate) Google repeatedly serves up favorable returns that depict abortions as a friendly, positive right. Verbiage on the results page for pro-choice mentions "top stories and "abortion-rights movement" with a photo of people smiling holding a sign. In contrast, the term "pro-life" in a Google search returns negative terminology such as "anti-abortion and "activist and images that portrays angry protestors. The need is greater now than ever to come alongside abortion-vulnerable women in the United States who are continually bombarded with untruths and twisted facts from Planned Parenthood and other liberal-leaning corporations who position themselves as mainstream. Planned Parenthood spent millions supporting lobbyists and democrats in the 2016 elections and reportedly spends nearly $200 million a year on marketing and advertising. Save the Storks has helped save the lives of thousands of babies since 2010 and by the end of 2018 over 5,000 lives were saved on Stork Buses. In addition to partnering with PRCs who offer programs for abortion-vulnerable women, Save the Storks made significant investments in 2018 in an effort to revolutionize the pro-life movement and transform the hearts and minds of Americans. Below is a list of the programs and ministries Save the Storks supported: Living Room Reset with Kirk Cameron Heartbeat Video, seen by millions on Facebook and YouTube Stork Ball The marketing and development teams hosted the first annual pro-life gala in Washington, DC, at Museum of the Bible, the night before March for Life.
