Since its beginning, Council for Life has been committed to raising significant funds for non-profit agencies that share our mission of honoring the sanctity of life. To date, Council for Life has raised and donated over $9 million to more than 55 life-affirming beneficiaries. Each year, our beneficiaries are carefully selected. Each of these beneficiaries is committed to serving daily in implementing our mission of empowering women, men and youth to make life-affirming choices and to raising public awareness of the complex issues surrounding unplanned pregnancies. CFL is grateful for the compassionate services these agencies provide and for their tireless commitment to protecting the unborn.
Beneficiaries are selected by a committee based on the merit of the project and its potential impact in the community. The grant process includes an application, financial assessment from a CPA, and a site visit. Over two days, the merits of each project are thoughtfully and prayerfully weighed and beneficiaries are chosen through anonymous ballots ranking the requests. Typically 15 – 19 beneficiaries are selected. During the grant year, beneficiaries submit interim and final reports to ensure the integrity of the grant and all expenditures. Council for Life is proud to have helped increase the efficacy and professionalism of its grantees over the past 20 years.
NOTE: The 2022 grant application documents will be available on September 30, 2021.
