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.
