• To keep the focus on local community initiatives.
  Note: Applicants must apply for funds that will be used to provide services in Collin, Dallas, Ellis, Rockwall and/or Tarrant counties.
• Before submitting an application, agencies must have been in existence for at least three years, based on IRS determination date, or have served the DFW Metroplex area at least three years.
• To consider legitimate operating needs as well as stand-alone projects.
• To select beneficiaries that are in line with our mission to empower women, men and youth to make life-affirming choices and are motivated by Christ-like love and compassion.
• Not to fund the same project or need more than two consecutive years.
• To prevent agencies from becoming financially dependent on Council for Life. We encourage agencies to develop new community relationships made possible during the grant year; however, we ask that you do not directly solicit new donors (via an underwriting letter) from our membership while in the same year you are selected to receive a grant.

How Council for Life GrantBeneficiaries will be selected

Council for Life grant application Beneficiaries are selected by a committee based on the merit of the project and its potential impact on the community. The grant process includes an application, a financial assessment from a CPA, and a site visit. Over two days, the merits of each project are thoughtfully and prayerfully weighed and beneficiaries are chosen through anonymous ballots ranking the requests.

Typically 15 – 19 beneficiaries are selected. During the grant year, beneficiaries submit interim and final reports to ensure the integrity of the grant and all expenditures. Council for Life is proud to have helped increase the efficacy and professionalism of its grantees over the past 20 years.
