Lalor Foundation Accepting Applications for Reproductive Health Programs

Through its Anna Lalor Burdick Program, the Lalor Foundation is accepting applications from programs that educate young women about human reproduction in order to broaden and enhance their options in life. The program focuses particularly on young women who have inadequate access to information regarding sexual and reproductive health, including comprehensive and unbiased information on contraception and pregnancy termination.

One-year grants of up to $50,000 will be awarded in support of programs for young women, particularly those who are disadvantaged by poverty, discrimination, geographic isolation, lack of specific sex education, hostile public policy, or other factors that can contribute to poor reproductive health. The foundation is especially interested in comprehensive approaches to sexual and reproductive health education; novel ideas, including innovative methods of delivering information; and programs that incorporate advocacy or policy change, consistent with IRS 501(c)(3) status.

To be eligible, applicants must be a tax-exempt organization not defined as a private foundation under section 509(a) of the IRS Code.

For complete program guidelines and application instructions, including a description of completed grantee projects and an FAQ, visit the Lalor Foundation website.

DEADLINE: MAY 1, 2016
