We come alongside pregnancy resource centers all over the nation, providing them with powerful tools and training to more effectively connect with those women in their communities. With the support of donors, and in conjunction with our affiliate pregnancy resource centers, we have built Stork Buses (mobile medical units) that reach women near abortion clinics, on college campuses, in rural areas and inner cities. (continued on Schedule O)Save the Storks believes that going mobile is one of the most effective strategies for reaching abortion-vulnerable mothers. 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 2017, four out of five women who boarded a Stork Bus, saw their baby on the ultrasound and heard the heartbeat, chose life, according to reports provided by participating affiliate PRCs. We signed seven new pregnancy resource center affiliates in 2017, delivered 10 Stork Buses and ended 2017 with a total of 33 Stork Buses at our affiliate PRCs. 944116 AwarenessSave the Storks continued to advance the pro-life movement in 2017 with intentional communications focused on awareness. The organization launched and nurtured a robust social media campaign that saw a marked increase in followers, most notably 41,420 new followers gained on Facebook, a 23% increase with a total of 221,510 followers as of December 31, 2017. The organization's ministry efforts were featured on LiveAction, Samaritan Ministries, Dr. Dobson Ministries and Crux. Save the Storks also participated in the 2017 March for Life. Videos that engaged viewers while informing them about the pro-life movement were distributed throughout the year, with (continued on Schedule O) a Father's Day. Save the Storks invested in several initiatives in 2017, including the Voiceless Church Tour; Heartbeat, CareNet and The Sparrow Conference; Christian music tours (Plumb 2017); Summit Ministries (their mission is to cultivate rising generations to resolutely champion a biblical worldview); and The Remnant Generation, a Uganda pro-life ministries that supports unwed mothers and their babies, ensures they are educated and have their healthcare needs provided. 15159 71778 Stork Works ConsultingIn 2017, Stork Works Consulting conducted 16 trainings or consultations for pregnancy resource centers and life-minded organizations. Of those, 16 were given grants to supplement the cost of the training. Eleven of the trainings were specific to mobile ministry, and two focused on strategic planning. Two trainings were related to adding ultrasound services and one was a sidewalk counseling training. At the end of 2017 we began planning for the expansion of the consulting/training division of Save the Storks to include our first annual Intensive Conference in 2018. (continued on Schedule O)Adding Ultrasound training takes a non-medical pregnancy center through the process of the addition of ultrasound services. We walk them through the legalities, policy and procedures, and who and how to hire for professional medical services.ABCs of Going Mobile training equips centers with the ability to run a successful mobile ministry. We spend 1.5 days on-site at the center teaching them when and where to park their mobile unit, the unique aspects of mobile ministry, fundraising techniques, and important aspects for thriving in mobile ministry. StratOp is a 3 day on-site strategic planning consultation designed to effectively implement long term strategic goals and current operational strategies for pregnancy centers. This is done with the board and Executive Staff. 2671098 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 44 0 1 46 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 5 2 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 Drive Colorado Springs CO 80918 Joseph Baker CEO/President 40.00 X X 95089 0 59375 Ann Baker Co-Founder/Secretary/Payroll 13.00 X X 15000 0 0 Herb McCarthy Chairman/Consultant 12.00 X X 19861 0 0 Julie Beyel Board Member 3.00 X 0 0 0 Rob Smith Board Member/Consultant 4.00 X 2500 0 0 John McCain Chief Financial Officer 40.00 X 108630 0 0 Dianna Steele Vice President 40.00 X 106013 0 0 347093 0 59375 2 0 1 0 0 55280 3573198 3628478 StorkWorks Consulting 900099 71778 71778 Affiliation Fee 900099 71000 71000 Other Income 900099 5504 5504 148282 2872 2872 11283 -11283 -11283 -11283 0 55280 12368 -12368 -12368 1476325 1296961 179364 179364 3935345 327646 0 -20779 X 338819 338819 20000 20000 296817 116584 106632 73601 1141763 830002 152312 159449 97873 60094 21043 16736 15363 15363 7978 7978 144743 144743 307117 201135 25141 80841 218244 184490 23061 10693 384738 236229 82719 65790 10159 6238 2184 1737 110642 67934 23788 18920 520846 442719 78127 11140 10026 1114 584 502 35 47 39348 35413 3935 40344 32276 4034 4034 Event Sponsorship, Etc 96583 24146 72437 Professional Developmen 40479 24854 8703 6922 Event Supplies 19761 19761 Clothing 1800 900 900 23723 18976 2373 2374 3888864 2671098 558542 659224 1369662 1420528 411571 411966 21222 51750 34750 34308 87287 315425 261509 65928 184049 195581 1625 1625 179135 230100 2340609 2609975 15933 38168 378945 590380 43827 438705 628548 X 704302 544690 1197602 1436737 1901904 1981427 2340609 2609975 46481 33042 0 X 0 0 0 X 506600 1377432 2432005 3689867 3628478 11634382 506600 1377432 2432005 3689867 3628478 11634382 57678 11576704 3 31 1304 2032 2872 6242 472 472 11641096 3830250 0.99450 X Schedule A, Part II, Line 10, Explanation of Other Income: Other Income - 2016 Amount: $ 472. 87203 33567 53636 174306 32361 141945 195581 Security Deposits 220000 UI Reimb.

Schedule O - General Explanation Attachment ORGANIZATIONAL MISSION STATEMENT The mission at Save the Storks is to revolutionize the meaning of pro-life. Stork sponsor growth in 2017 increased by approximately 800. In 2016, we had 2,598 Stork sponsors. In 2017 we ended with a total of 3,410 Stork sponsors. In 2017, Save the Storks received approximately $700,000 to help cover administrative and overhead costs. 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 Center 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) The largest search engine in the world, Google, with over 3.5 billion searches a day, sponsored Planned Parenthood at the culturally relevant SXSW (South by Southwest) festival in Texas. 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. Guttmacher, the organization that bills itself as a "think tank" for women's reproductive rights, issued several misleading press releases in 2017 intended to sway public opinion and distract Americans from the truth about abortions: "Abortion Is a Common Experience for U.S. Women" (October 2017) "Many Abortion Restrictions Have No Rigorous Scientific Basis (May 2017) "Barriers to Abortion Care May Have Cumulative Negative Effects (April 2017) "Abortion Coverage Restrictions Affect Millions of Women (January 2017) 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, when founder Joe Baker was volunteering for a pregnancy resource center in the Bronx. Inspired by an old van equipped with an ultrasound machine that provided free services outside an abortion clinic, Joe had the vision of offering hope for abortion-vulnerable women who felt abandoned and without any options. The next year, as newlyweds, Joe and his wife opted to purchase a gutted Mercedes-Benz Sprinter van instead of putting a down payment on a house. The young couple spent their first year of marriage touring the country in an effort to raise funds to complete the first ever Stork Bus. After visiting churches, women's ministries and pro-life groups, they raised enough to fully outfit the van with a state-of-the-art ultrasound machine, surround sound system, large TVs and top-of-the-line medical office equipment, creating a mobile medical unit unlike anything else in the United States. By the end of 2017, 33 Stork Buses built by Save the Storks and operated by affiliate pregnancy resource centers were on the road, helping moms and saving babies. In addition to partnering with PRCs who offer programs for abortion-vulnerable women, Save the Storks made significant investments in 2017 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: Voiceless Church Tour Following the Voiceless theater release (a pro-life movie that Save the Storks helped to fund/produce), Save the Storks partnered with churches to show the movie to their congregations. January 2017 - December 2017 Stork Ball The marketing and development teams prepared for the first annual pro-life Stork Ball, a world-class pro-life gala that will take place every year in Washington, DC, the night before March for Life. This gala is an opportunity to reach leaders in several industries who are proven influencers with large platforms. These leaders will engage not just hundreds, but hundreds of thousands in the pro-life movement. Facebook Awareness Save the Storks grew its following from 187,270 to 226,360 likes This 21% increase was a result of newsworthy Facebook videos and posts that captured the hearts of pro-life supporters. Videos Branded-videos educated the public and told the story of pro-life and Save the Storks in creative, entertaining ways. Video released for Father's Day resulted in over 7 million views. Media Multiple publications and websites featured stories about Save the Storks, including an article that ran in the NY Times the day after March for Life.

In just four months, this Stork Bus served 24 clients, and 16 of these clients chose life for their baby. . Stork Bus Testimonials November 2017 On a cold November morning our Stork Bus was parked outside the late term abortion clinic in New Mexico. The parking lot was full of out of town license plates. A truck pulled in with Colorado plates. A young girl got out of the car with an older couple. They all looked scared and confused. The spoke with someone from the PRC there on the sidewalk and agreed to come over and talk with the staff on the bus before their abortion appointment. We welcomed them in to the warm bus and asked them to tell us their story. The young girl (Missy) was pregnant and in her second trimester. Missy was a 15 years old high school sophomore. She was with her parents. They had taken her to Mexico to get an ultrasound and now were here in New Mexico for her abortion. She began to share how scared she was about being pregnant. She said she wanted to finish high school. Missy also shared that the baby's Dad wasn't involved. As she talked she relaxed a little and began to smile as the staff asked questions. One of the staff members asked if she could share her experience with the family and they said yes. The staff member shared that she had just retired after 30 years as an Engineer . But 40 years ago she was facing the same decision as Missy. She was 15 and pregnant. She kept her baby and went to a school for pregnant teens. She went to college and had had a good career and an amazing family. She shared about her children and grandchildren she had because of that choice. She told Missy "It won't be easy but it will be amazing." Missy and her parents were encouraged and asked a lot of questions about school and pregnancy. The staff also began to show the family information about fetal development and what Missy's baby was doing at that moment. Missy shared that she had seen the baby sucking its thumb during her Ultrasound in Mexico. Missy's parent told her they would chose life for their grandchild but it was her decision. Missy said she wanted to keep the baby and stay in school but she was nervous about the baby not having a father figure. When she said that, her Dad came over and took her hand and said I will be that man in your child's life. She began to cry (so did some of the staff). Missy said "I want to keep the baby". Her parents were very excited. We all prayed together then we gave the family contact information for local pregnancy centers in their area so they would have support when they got home. They thanked the staff and advocates and began their long trip home. God has a purpose and a plan. He put the right people in the right place so Missy could hear what she needed to hear to choose life. July 2017 "July" is a 28 year old single woman who was abortion vulnerable and came by herself to our MMV for an ultrasound. "July" had a history of miscarriage and was definitely leaning towards abortion and categorized herself as "undecided" before the ultrasound scan. She shared with our MMV nurse that she had relationship concerns with the father of the baby which contributed to her being vulnerable to abortion. Upon seeing her 6w2d fetus and the baby's beating heart she changed her mind and decided to carry. Due to the impact of the ultrasound, seeing that the baby was alive on the screen, and learning about the baby's development, "July" decided to carry her baby. She verbalized that she will carry even if the father of the baby is not present or supportive. Stork Bus Testimonials (continued) April 2017 The Stork Bus/Medical Mobile Unit arrived early on Friday morning to set up for a health fair. Once the unit was set up and open for clients and interested community members there was a steady flow of people on the bus. The staff notice a young lady that kept walking by the bus but not coming in. A staff member went and talked to her. They explained our services and gave her information. She still seemed reluctant to say much so, they invited her on the bus and began to speak to her privately. She said she thought she needed a pregnancy test. She shared with them that she had been living as a lesbian but had recently met a man and was re-thinking her choices. They did the test and it was positive. She was scared and confused. They asked her if she would like to have an ultrasound. She said yes. The baby was beautiful. Moving and waving arms. The client began to cry and share her fears. The staff was able to comfort her and provide her with resources. They shared God's story of love with her. She listened intently. They asked if she would like to accept Jesus into her heart and she said yes! They prayed with her and made a follow up appointment at the local Care Net office. She has developed a bond with the members that led her to Lord and still visits them at Care Net. February 2017 Jamie* had a positive pregnancy test at home and was immediately panicked. She had driven by Heartbeat of Toledo's Your First Look mobile unit one time before, but was in shock that she could be pregnant and chose to keep driving. Jamie decided she wanted to visit our mobile unit the following week. She told the advocate, "I hate this already. I can't keep it. I already have other kids and can't support another one. And, adoption is not an option." Jamie hoped for a miscarriage as she was fearful of the physical ramifications of an abortion. On the mobile unit we were able to provide her with education on all of her options and a glimpse into what was going on inside her body. The ultrasound showed that she was 7 weeks 3 days and the baby had a strong heartbeat. While she requested pictures, Jamie had little emotional response to anything she saw. We scheduled a follow-up appointment with her at one of our brick and mortar locations for the following week. Jamie did not show up for this appointment and despite attempts to reschedule her, did not return until about a month after her initial appointment with us. When Jamie came in for her follow-up appointment at Heartbeat, she told us she had an abortion scheduled for the same day in Michigan and once again said, "I don't want it (the baby)." The only reason she didn't attend that abortion appointment was because she did not complete the required paperwork in time. As the Heartbeat advocate processed seeing the ultrasound with her and asked how she was feeling, Jamie said "I don't know now, it's a real baby," but was still considering abortion. A week later Jamie returned for another follow-up appointment and had a complete demeanor change. As she thought back to her previous appointments with us and seeing the ultrasound she decided she didn't want to follow through with the abortion that she had scheduled. Also, in working through the information she received from us she determined that she wanted to pursue adoption. As of today (3/23), Jamie has chosen an adoption agency and an adoptive family and met the family for the first time in our offices. It is stories like Jamie's that make us thankful for the work God has called us to through Heartbeat. In closing, Save the Storks will continue to take innovative steps to promote the pro-life movement. Funds raised will be used for relevant communication channels to elevate the conversation and share the truth with love, compassion and action. Together with our supporters, donors and prayer partners, we are confident that abortion will soon be unthinkable, and that every human being will agree that denying babies life is as atrocious as the Holocaust and slavery.
