The Lalor Foundation is seeking applications for its Grant Program to advance research and innovation in reproductive health.
They are focusing their efforts on supporting organizations that value reproductive rights and help women gain access to contraception and abortions.
Funding Interests
- The Anna Lalor Burdick (ALB) Program supports programs that offer sexual and reproductive health education to women. It is interested in programs serving women who are disadvantaged by poverty, discrimination, geographic isolation, lack of comprehensive sex education, hostile public policy, or other factors leading to inadequate sexual and reproductive health.
- The ALB Program typically does not support general operations, ongoing programs, or existing staff positions.
- Programs should
- have a comprehensive approach to SRH education that includes unbiased information on all options
- include novel ideas or innovative methods of delivering information
- define clear goals and intended outcomes as well as a feasible plan to assess impact and success
- be exemplars for replication if successful
- be economically sustainable if successful
Funding Information
- The ALB Program awards a small number of grants in the range of $10,000 to $35,000, with an average grant size between $15,000 and $25,000.
Duration
- Grants are awarded for one year.
Eligibility Criteria
- Applicants must be tax exempt under section 501(c)(3) of the U.S. Internal Revenue Service Code and defined as “not a private foundation” under section 509(a) of the Code.
- While projects may take place outside the U.S., only organizations based in the United States are eligible.
Ineligibility Criteria
- Programs that focus exclusively on the following are generally not considered:
- HIV/HPV/sexually transmitted disease prevention
- one-time direct supply costs (e.g. distribution of menstrual products, LARCs, or contraception)
- menstrual health or hygiene
- maternal health, infant health, or postpartum issues
- advocacy on behalf of teen parents
- Grants are never made
- to individuals, or for individual research projects and scholarships
- for endowment or major capital support
