The Empower Life Grant is an invitation-only, operational grant intended to empower both organizations and their clients to transform their communities for life. Good candidates for the Empower Life Grant are Heartbeat International Affiliates in full agreement with the Commitment of Care and Competence (particularly the birth control statement), are committed to sharing the Gospel with clients, and serve primarily clients at-risk for abortion. The commitment to sharing Christ with clients is very close to the heart of the anonymous donor and will play a role in which organizations receive grants. Applicants for this grant receive training on representing their organization well to grantors as well as a complete checklist of what they need for the application. Over $5 million in grant funds have been distributed to more than 500 pregnancy help organizations so far!

The map below shows when organizations in the United States should expect to receive an invitation to apply. Cycles are named for when grant monies are distributed. The Spring application window typically opens in January and they Fall application window typically opens in August. 

Questions about the Empower Life Grant should be directed to Camille Cisneros at ccisneros@heartbeatinternational.org 

Heartbeat International’s Babies Go to Congress campaign may be one of the most powerful Pro-Life events on Capitol Hill. Just imagine your lawmakers meeting with women who chose life at your center! Working with you and your clients, we can communicate with various congressional offices from both sides of the aisle. After all, who can turn away smiling mothers, with happy babies in hand, who share their stories of the love and support they found at their local pregnancy help center? 

One by one these moms will share their stories of how your organization helped them through a difficult time in their life. Some with a pregnancy test, some with housing, some with ultrasound, and some with mentorship programs... each story is different but highlights the fact that once each woman walked through your door, you continued to build a relationship and invest in them.

Pregnancy help centers are great for America. We know this. Women know this. Your centers and organizations provided resources and support when no one else did.

Additional articles can be found in Townhall, the Daily Signal, CBN, and CNS News, as well as coverage in our very own Pregnancy Help News.

Because of organizations like yours, we are able to continue bringing mothers and babies to Washington, D.C., to deliver the good news of pregnancy help! Will you join us?

Thanks to centers like yours, more than 180 moms and babies have gone to D.C. and told their stories in nearly 400 Congressional offices since our first trip in 2009! Every one of these moms and their babies are living proof that pregnancy centers are great for America.

Life Reach Global - India

For over ten years we have been promoting and defending the value of all human life from conception until natural death in South Asia. 

Through our awareness seminars we have reached out to over one hundred and thirty thousand people who are either directly involved with pregnancy termination or who themselves form part of the endangered target group. 

We have a special home, where the expecting mother can finish her pregnancy without threat and be counseled how she can either return to family life with her newly-born child or parent her child through adoption. Some of these women choose to stay on and be trained by us in life skills.

In a second home we provide for the elderly, enabling them to spend their final months, weeks and days with dignity in a loving and caring environment.

Alongside our life center for expecting mothers and our center for the elderly we have now received approval to open an infant home, paving the way for the center to also become an adoption agency.

We have developed a large network of life-care-focused organizations in South Asia. We confer regularly and facilitate annual summits to share experiences, explore avenues to reach even more people in need, and strengthen our mutual resolve to serve. 

With our legal partners, Alliance Defending Freedom, we have contested attempts to curtail the rights of the unborn at the highest legal levels.

We have launched our nation’s first pro-life pregnancy helpline to provide immediate counsel and practical help to women or couples contemplating an abortion.

India has a distorted male/female birth rate with 7000 girls being aborted on sex-selective grounds daily. The nation we serve has one of the highest abortion rates per women of reproductive age in the world while the movement to speak up and protect these precious ones and their mothers is young and small. We thank you for every contribution that you provide for the least of these. 

We’re living in a powerful moment in history—a time when women in crisis have more opportunities and support than ever before. That's why Heartbeat International has joined the biggest challenge to Roe v. Wade. 

Heartbeat filed an amicus brief in the United States Supreme Court case Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health. 

This is a direct challenge to the antiquated arguments of Roe v. Wade and Planned Parenthood v. Casey: that women need an abortion to participate in society. 

You and I know that’s never been true. Now Heartbeat International is seizing this moment to make the argument that women today are already empowered, strong, and abortion does absolutely NOTHING for them.

Thank you for taking the time to sign the letter to thank United States Senator Joe Manchin.

We stand alongside him, ready to provide women with compassionate support and real options through pregnancy help.

In fact, Heartbeat International provides care and support to communities worldwide through a network of life-affirming pregnancy help with more than 2,800 affiliated locations is more than 60 countries. Through our work, we move to accomplish our vision of making abortion unwanted today and unthinkable for future generations. 

If you agree with this vision, please make a donation today so that we can continue to advance a culture of life!

Senator Joe Manchin stood as the sole Democrat and the deciding vote to save the Hyde amendment in the federal budget that was passed late Tuesday, August 10. The Hyde Amendment stops taxpayer funding of abortion through Medicaid and has been a key target of the pro-abortion movement ever since President Biden took office.

As history shows us, when government subsidizes a service or product, the use of that service goes up, and it is no different with abortion.

This courageous stand by Senator Manchin ensures that abortion providers, like Planned Parenthood, won’t profit further off underprivileged women who already feel that abortion is their only option. Instead of coercing women into abortion through federal funding, we should work to ensure that every woman receives love and support during an unexpected pregnancy.

Pregnancy help organizations provide this compassionate support and real options to women in need.

We thank Senator Manchin for standing with the 58% of Americans who oppose using taxpayer dollars to fund abortion.

Add your name below to sign on to a letter to thank Senator Manchin for his courage to stand up for the women and their babies.
