Balloting Is Open To Award $100,000 To Six Pro-Life Groups

The National Prayer Luncheon for Life is expected to bring thousands of pro-life advocates together online this month for its first post-Dobbs event to celebrate and bolster the work of highly effective pro-life organizations. To be showcased are six organizations that have been nominated to receive the 2023 National Prayer Luncheon for Life Pro-Life Impact Award and a Pro-Life Impact Grant. The grants  will total $100,000.

Online voters have until midnight (Pacific time) on Saturday April 15 to choose among the six finalists named to this year’s High-Impact Pro-Life list. The top-vote getter takes home a $50,000 grant, followed by $20,000 and $15,000 respectively for the second- and third-place winners, with the remaining organizations each being honored with a $5,000 National Prayer Luncheon for Life Pro-Life Impact Grant.

Brett Attebery, Chairman of National Prayer Luncheon for Life said that the pro-life movement is growing in strategic ways and that the life-affirming organizations having the highest impact in the post-Dobbs era are those that are taking on the well-funded abortion industry by applying strategic business principles. “I laud each of these admirable pro-life organizations for their achievements,” Attebery said.

The six organizations nominated for the 2023 National Prayer Luncheon for Life Pro-Life Impact Awards and Pro-Life Impact Grants are: The Abortion Survivors Network, Equal Rights Institute, Good Counsel Homes, Human Life Alliance, Natural Women’s Health, and ThriVe® Express Women’s Healthcare.

Leaders of each of these groups are being featured on The National Prayer Luncheon for Life Pro-Life Impact Show in the weeks leading up to the event. Podcasts can be viewed at https://tinyurl.com/NPLL-ImpactShow.

Christina Bennett from the Live Action team will represent Live Action founder Lila Rose to help pass the baton to the newly selected honoree for the 2023 title.

“This year we will be honoring six nominated organizations that have been selected as the finalists for their demonstrated significant, quantifiable impact and measurable successes in saving lives and winning battles against the abortion industry. We are also awarding $100,000 in grant money for their continued pro-life work,” said Karen Garnett, National Prayer Luncheon for Life President.

“Lila Rose and Live Action exemplify what it means to be a high-impact pro-life organization, and we are honored to have Christina joining us on Lila’s behalf to help cheer on this year’s honorees,” she said.
