The State of Arkansas has awarded more than $1.6 million in publicly funded grants to pro-life pregnancy help organizations this budget cycle, according to the state’s official transparency website.
The grant funding is part of a $2 million appropriation the Arkansas Legislature approved in 2024. The grants promote maternal wellness and help pregnancy resource centers, maternity homes, adoption agencies, and other organizations that provide material support to women with unplanned pregnancies.
Arkansas does not give grant funding to abortionists or their affiliates.
Since 2022, Family Council has worked closely with elected officials in Arkansas to provide publicly funded grants to good, pro-life charities each year.
So far, 33 organizations have received funding during the 2025 budget cycle. That’s something to celebrate!
Pregnancy resource centers and similar organizations give women real options besides abortion. That’s why a growing number of states provide these organizations with public funding.
It’s important to pass laws to prohibit abortion, but we also need to assist women with unplanned pregnancies.
Family Council is working with lawmakers to continue providing grant money to pregnancy help organizations in the 2025-2026 budget cycle.
