The National Campaign Fund

Supporting Research, Action, and Innovation

Thank you for your interest in The National Campaign Fund. 

The Fund provides a limited number of grants to support activities that advance the mission of The National Campaign to Prevent Teen and Unplanned Pregnancy.

Mission: The National Campaign to Prevent Teen and Unplanned Pregnancy seeks to improve the lives and future prospects of children and families and, in particular, to help ensure that children are born into stable, two-parent families who are committed to and ready for the demanding task of raising the next generation. Our specific strategy is to prevent teen pregnancy and unplanned pregnancy, especially among single, young adults. We support a combination of responsible values and behavior by both men and women and responsible policies in both the public and private sectors.
If we are successful, child and family well-being will improve. There will be less poverty, more opportunities for young men and women to complete their education or achieve other life goals, fewer abortions, and a stronger nation.

Areas of Emphasis: The National Campaign Fund has three primary emphases:

  • Research: Building the knowledge base for action in many areas—public policy, media, community programs, clinical services, and more;
  • Innovation: Encouraging the development of new ideas and better ways to reduce both teen pregnancy and unplanned pregnancy, especially among single young adults; and
  • Action: Supporting policies and partnerships with powerful sectors (including states) that can advance our mission in clear and deliberate ways.

Application Process: 

The National Campaign Fund ordinarily only accepts proposals that respond to specific funding announcements and requests.  However, we also welcome innovative and important ideas that are not necessarily covered in posted requests for proposals.  These ideas should be put in writing and addressed to:
