Abiding Hope, Inc. helps women and families in North Buncombe and Madison Counties that face an unplanned pregnancy. We help women by providing free pregnancy tests, free limited OB ultrasounds and speaking to them about their options. We also provide referrals to agencies that can help them with housing, food, clothing, and/or safety if needed. We talk with them throughout their pregnancy supporting the family in getting ready for baby. We provide parenting classes that can start in the first trimester and last through the first 2 years of life. When they come in for parenting classes, they earn points to go shopping in our baby closet that contains maternity clothes, baby items and clothes up to 2T. If someone loses their baby due to miscarriage or abortion, we have women that can come alongside and help the family work through their grief.

Names, privacy, and removal requests More

The names, titles, and compensation shown on this page are reproduced from IRS Form 990 filings, which are public records.

Philanthropy.org does not alter the content of those filings. All information appears exactly as reported by the filing organization for the tax year shown.

We publish only information contained in the public IRS filing — and less than the filing contains. Our profile pages do not display street addresses, telephone numbers, personal email addresses, or other personal contact information, even where the filing includes them.

Many people share the same name. A name shown on this page reflects only what one organization reported in one IRS filing for one tax year. It should not be interpreted as identifying any other individual with the same or a similar name.

If you are no longer affiliated with the organization, your name will generally stop appearing in future IRS filings once the organization no longer reports you. Pages for tax years in which you were reported remain published because those filings remain part of the public record.

Philanthropy.org does not alter or remove IRS filing records. Removing a page from this website would not remove the underlying IRS filing, which remains publicly available from the IRS and other publishers of the same information.

If you believe the IRS filing itself is inaccurate, corrections must be made by the filing organization or the IRS directly.

If you ARE the filing organization, claim this org and add context
