Governance

This organization files the short tax form, which does not ask about boards, policies or audits. That is normal for a small charity and is not a mark against it.

Impact evidence

Describes programs. Its tax return describes what it does but we have found no measurable results in it.

Programs described in its return (1)
  1. $50,024 spent. Since 1988, when two courageous moms became startlingly aware that young women (and men) needed a safe place to consider sexuality, pregnancy and parenting, Choices has labored to make differences that matter for life especially in Siskiyou county where we are the 14th most economically stressed county in the nation, resulting in skyrocketing rates of hopelessness. In 2025 client visits included 2K+, representing two locations, often including one or more high-risk stressors contributing to pregnancy and parenting challenges: addiction, mental health issues, domestic and partner violence, sexual trauma, and loss of economic resources. Choices is currently staffed by an unpaid executive director, and an average of sixteen trained volunteers to respond to calls and visits by persons seeking help with life challenges. Services are provided at no charge to the public. We are a community collective, with people from different backgrounds and experiences who desire to care well for those who come, who are seeking a variety of services, including conversation, emotional support, referrals, practical resources, parenting education, and/or pregnancy tests (via a self-testing model/non-medical setting). We are a grassroots non-profit in which participants engage without any money changing hands. The care itself is the currency of exchange. Our store features high-need items such as diapers, wipes and car seats, as well as donated maternity and baby clothing, shoes, blankets, and misc baby equipment. Donated baby food and formula, as well as a pantry to share groceries are provided for those in need by individuals and local churches. We're still discovering how to best nurture life, in women, men, their partners, children and families in our local communities. The perspective that guides our care, and is reflected in our name, is that we are all created with the ability to make choices, and we do not get to make decisions for others. We listen, ask clarifying questions, inform about available resources, and seek to build a genuine relationship that has been demonstrated as a key element in strengthening individuals and families. Guests represent diversity across age, ethnicity, socio-economic, sexual orientation and religio-political belief. All are welcome.
