Arkansas Has Given Nearly $650K to Pro-Life Pregnancy Help Organizations this Fiscal Year
The State of Arkansas has disbursed nearly $650,000 in publicly funded grants to pro-life pregnancy help organizations this fiscal year, according to the state’s official transparency website.
The grant funding is part of a $2 million program the Arkansas Legislature approved in 2024 to promote maternal wellness and assist pregnancy resource centers, maternity homes, adoption agencies, and other organizations that provide material support to women with unplanned pregnancies.
Arkansas’ program does not provide public funds to abortionists or their affiliates — such as Planned Parenthood’s facilities in Little Rock and Rogers.
Since 2022, Family Council has worked closely with elected officials in Arkansas to provide publicly funded grants to qualified, pro-life charities each year. All told, 26 pro-life charities have received funding so far this 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.
Family Council plans to work with lawmakers to continue providing grant money to pregnancy help organizations in the 2025-2026 budget cycle.
