Arlington, VA, Organization Honored at National Prayer Luncheon

Live Action, a pro-life advocacy organization headquartered in Arlington, Virginia, has been nominated for a $50,000 grant to further the life-affirming work of reporting stories exposing the abortion industry and revealing the dignity and humanity of preborn children. The group is also in the running for the 2022 National Prayer Luncheon for Life Pro-Life Impact Award. The award will be bestowed – and the grant winner announced – at the National Prayer Luncheon for Life on March 25, 2022.

The National Prayer Luncheon for Life draws thousands of pro-life advocates together online, as well as at the Grapevine, Texas, in-person ceremony, to elevate, celebrate, and accelerate the work of high-impact pro-life organizations. This event showcase six organizations, including Live Action. Each of the organizations which have been nominated to receive the 2022 National Prayer Luncheon for Life Pro-Life Impact Award are in the running for a $50,000 Pro-Life Impact Grant.

“This year we will be honoring six nominated organizations that have been selected 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,” shared Karen Garnett, National Prayer Luncheon for Life Executive Director.

The winning pro-life organization for the 2022 Impact Award is chosen by national online voting, as life advocates cast votes for the six finalists named to this year’s High-Impact Pro-Life list of honorees. 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.
