Pro-Life Grant Opportunities with Choose Life Alabama

Our mission is to advocate for unborn children in Alabama. If that’s your mission, too, and you need critical resources to fight the good fight and protect the unborn, then you can apply for pro-life grants from our organization.

How the Choose Life Grant Program Works

Choose Life Alabama’s purpose is to raise funds for life-affirming partners like adoption agencies, crisis pregnancy centers, baby safe havens and shelters, and other pro-life organizations.

We do this by selling Choose Life license plates. Most of the revenue raised from each purchase goes into our fund, which we then distribute to organizations in need.

To date, over $30 million has been raised nationwide by Choose Life state advocates. This money has helped save lives and create stronger, healthier families through proactive care. Every unborn child placed for adoption is one more child who can receive God’s greatest gift: the gift of life itself – and for that, we are thankful.
