State of Arkansas to Hold Hearing on $2M Pregnancy Center Grant Rules Today

Abortion, , ,

The Arkansas Department of Finance and Administration (DFA) will hold a public hearing on Thursday at 2:00 PM to discuss a proposed amendment to its rules governing the Pregnancy Help Organization Grant Program.

In April, Governor Sanders signed Act 1006 of 2025 by the legislature’s Joint Budget Committee providing $2 million for grants to pregnancy help organizations — including pregnancy resource centers, maternity homes, adoption agencies, and other charities that provide material support to women with unplanned pregnancies.

The State of Arkansas has funded this grant program every year since 2022 to help promote alternatives to abortion.

In July, DFA received 39 applications for grant funding under the program. However, the department has not taken any action on the applications and reportedly does not have a timeline for awarding grants to the pregnancy help organizations.

Based on DFA’s public hearing notice, Thursday’s meeting likely will not address when the department might begin awarding grants to pregnancy centers. Instead, it will focus on technical changes to the official rules governing the grant program.

DFA’s public hearing notice is available here. A copy of the proposed rule changes is available here.

Arkansans may submit written comments on the proposed rule changes to the Department of Finance and Administration – Office of Intergovernmental Services, P.O. Box 8031, Little Rock, Arkansas 72203 or to igsclearinghouse@dfa.arkansas.gov.
