PreBorn!
In 2017 OverDrive gave us our top performer tasked with donor-related and back office help for our women’s ministry. The expanded team’s tasks also include encouragement, scheduling medical exams and consultations, fund raising, event management and liaison calls. We are very thankful for the impact the OverDrive team is having on the lives and hearts of young mothers.
PreBorn! - A Not-For-Profit, Pro-Life Organization
EMPOWERING CHOICES, SAVING LIVES
Founded in 2007, PreBorn! is a dedicated not-for-profit 501(c)(3) pro-life organization that supports life-affirming pregnancy clinics in their mission to reach and help women choose life when considering an abortion.
This is achieved through offering these women free ultrasounds and support, as well as providing pregnancy clinics with vital grants for state-of-the-art ultrasound machines, evangelism training and additional resources. All services provided to expectant mothers are at no cost.
The leadership of PreBorn! recognizes that a large percentage of women do not wish to terminate an unplanned pregnancy but simply do not see how they can afford to have a baby and some are pressured by family members. PreBorn! Network Pregnancy Centers give these expectant mothers a real choice most have no idea exists with free ultrasounds to meet their baby in live 3D as well as counseling and a myriad of resources not generally available through pregnancy centers. As a result, 80% choose life.
As mentioned, all services provided to expectant mothers within the PreBorn! Pregnancy Network are offered at no cost, emphasizing their commitment to life. Everything that PreBorn! does is motivated by a desire to see the Gospel of Jesus Christ shared and God glorified.
Challenges
Awareness: Getting the word out that there is light at the end of the tunnel and a host of resources available to women at pregnancy centers supported by PreBorn!
Sensitive Conversations: Delicate, compassionate handling of conversations with expectant women about unplanned pregnancies is essential to ensuring women feel supported, understood and loved.
Enhancing Efficiency: In addition to having a dedicated team, PreBorn! wished to enhance efficiency and the team to meet the demands of their mission more effectively, prompting the requirement for additional personalized support to women in need.
The OverDrive Solution
PreBorn! and OverDrive Services joined forces in 2018, assisting with a virtual team member dedicated to making donor calls, expressing gratitude through appreciation calls, coordinating lunches and the provision of essential support to women in need.

Integration with PreBorn’s Systems: Seamlessly integrated into PreBorn’s operations, our virtual team efficiently handles crucial tasks for PreBorn! and arranges counseling sessions, ultrasounds and other services for pregnant women. Our team’s role has proven very helpful in streamlining these processes and enhancing the organization’s workflow efficiency.
Constant Monitoring and Improvement: OverDrive Services continues to support PreBorn! with an expanding team always focused on improvements from user feedback and their evolving needs.
