Overview
The National Campaign to Prevent Teen and Unplanned Pregnancy seeks to improve the well-being of children, youth, families, and the nation. Its strategy is to raise awareness of teen and unplanned pregnancy in the United States and to attract new voices and additional resources to support effective pregnancy prevention programs. The recommended funds would support the third phase of a partnership between The National Campaign and the National Association of Evangelicals. This group, which represents 45,000 local churches from more than forty different denominations, would work closely with The National Campaign to promote healthy sexuality, healthy family formation, and a reduction in the need for abortion, with a goal of mobilizing evangelicals and the country at large toward cooperative efforts and practical solutions.

Grants to this Grantee
for general operating support
Power to Decide envisions a world where everyone — no matter who they are or where they live — has control over their bodies and can decide if, when, and under what circumstances to get pregnant and have a child. Its mission is to advance sexual and reproductive well-being for all. The organization accomplishes this by providing trusted information, expanding access to quality services, and catalyzing culture change. (Strategy: U.S. Reproductive Equity)
for building funding mechanisms on abortionfinder.org/navigate.org
This grant will support Power to Decide to explore whether it is feasible and desirable to add an abortion funding mechanism to its abortionfinder.org or patient navigator platforms. Abortion seekers and the people who help them navigate how to access abortion use these sites to identify providers, transportation options, and financial support. Currently, financial assistance is not available directly through the sites. This project is responding to expressed interest in streamlining the process for abortion seekers by making funding available through these sites. (Strategy: U.S. Reproductive Equity)

Power to Decide works to advance policies that guarantee equitable access to reproductive health information and services, and is currently expanding efforts to promote holistic reproductive well-being both nationally and locally through an initiative that is building capacity across multiple health and social sectors to improve reproductive health.
