Through its Anna Lalor Burdick Program, the Lalor Foundation funds initiatives that bring women information and access to reproductive health care, contraception, and pregnancy termination to help broaden and enhance their options in life.
The program supports programs that offer sexual and reproductive health education to women and 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.
Due to the increase in restrictions for women living in places where the right to choose has been or threatens to be abolished, the foundation is currently focusing efforts on supporting organizations that value reproductive rights and help women access contraception and abortions. Priority will be given to new programs, initiatives, or innovations within already successful programs. Programs at new or grassroots organizations that provide excellent services will also be considered.
Grants awarded through the program typically range between $10,000 and $35,000, with an average grant size of between $15,000 and $25,000.
Concept papers are due by May 1, 2024, and selected applicants will be invited to submit a full proposal.
Eligible candidates must be tax-exempt under section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. While projects may take place outside the United States, only organizations based in the U.S. are eligible to receive a grant.
