Ways to Help
Thank you for your interest in helping Birthright moms!
Birthright Counseling, St. Louis, does not receive funding from the state or federal government and fully relies on generous support from donors to fulfill our mission.
Donors may qualify for the Missouri Pregnancy Resource Center Tax Credit, which provides a tax credit equal to 70% of your donation for donations over $100.
You can support our mission in the following ways.
Online Giving
Online gifts have an immediate and significant impact on our ability to counsel and care for women with unplanned pregnancies. Donations are gratefully accepted anytime online, Make a Donation

Provides professional counseling which includes ongoing individual, group and postpartum counseling as well as classes, workshops and practical assistance as needed.

Tributes: Honorariums & Memorials
A tribute can be in honor of your parent for Mother’s or Father’s Day, a birthday, graduation, wedding or anniversary milestone, or it can be in memory of a departed loved one.

Item Donations
Since 1971, donations by our friends and neighbors, schools and churches, have kept our moms and babies equipped with everything they need to have a good start. We would be unable to offer practical assistance without you.
Considering Birthright Counseling, St. Louis provides pregnant women with professional onsite support, we strive to offer a nurturing environment with as little distraction as possible. To make our operations run smoothly, our volunteers have generously offered to make themselves available on Tuesdays at the Brentwood location to accept and sort donations.
