Criteria:
- To have a diverse slate of grants that reflects the Council's growing vision as well as the complex issues surrounding unplanned pregnancy.
- To keep the focus on local community initiatives.
- To consider legitimate operating needs as well as projects.
- To diversify beneficiaries that are in line with our mission to raise public awareness and empower women, and are motivated by Christ-like love and compassion.
- It is a Council preference not to fund the same project or need more than two consecutive years.
- It is a Council goal that agencies do not become financially dependent on the Council. We encourage agencies to develop new community relationships made possible during the grant year; however, we ask that you do not directly solicit new donors (via an underwriting letter) from our membership while in the same year you are selected to receive a grant.
We Do Not Fund:
- Travel
- Political activity
- Projects outside our mission
- Mortgage or debt reduction
