WHAT IS THE LIFE LAUNCH GRANT?
Life Launch, a Pregnancy Help Center Start-Up Grant, is dedicated to inspiring a new season of pregnancy help center start-ups by supporting individuals and/or established organizations open in underserved communities. Qualified candidates will initially be considered for $10,000 in in-kind resources. Additionally, Life Launch candidates who have been accepted as full recipients may also be considered for operational grant opportunities. Qualified candidates will be considered based on available funding for the Life Launch Grant Program.
WHO IS ELIGIBLE TO RECEIVE THE LIFE LAUNCH GRANT?
The Life Launch Grant is designed to support new pregnancy help center start-ups open their doors, advancing pregnancy help in those underserved communities. In some select cases, existing pregnancy help centers planning to open a new satellite location or pregnancy help centers who have opened their doors no more than 6 months prior to submitting their grant application may be eligible. Maternity homes and non-profit adoption agencies are excluded from this grant program.
HOW CAN I BE CONSIDERED?
Qualified candidates will be considered based on available funding for the Life Launch Grant Program. To be considered for the Life Launch Grant Program, complete the initial qualification assessment. The qualification assessment will help to identify if your center qualifies as a start-up pregnancy help center in an underserved community. The Heartbeat team will then review all submitted qualification assessments and invite eligible centers to apply for the Life Launch grant based on available funding.
WHAT IS AVAILABLE UPON ACCEPTANCE INTO THE GRANT PROGRAM?
Upon acceptance into the Life Launch grant program, grant recipients will receive $10,000 in in-kind resources including their first of three years of Heartbeat Affiliation, Heartbeat International’s Pregnancy Help Starter Kit, access to Heartbeat International’s fundraising webinars (fundraising 101, fundraising 102, and fundraising for matching grants), their first of two years of Extend Web Services (both client and donor websites are included), and their first two years of Next Level CMS intake and data collection services. Grant recipients will also receive a scholarship to attend Pregnancy Help Institute at Heartbeat International’s headquarters in Columbus in July as well as an on-site Board of Directors Training by a Heartbeat specialist.
