Mission & Focus Areas
Choose Life, Inc.’s stated mission is to promote the official Florida Choose Life license plate and distribute the funds collected from it to nongovernmental, not-for-profit agencies in Florida that assist pregnant women making adoption plans.
The organization describes eligible recipients as life-affirming pregnancy resource centers, maternity homes, and nonprofit adoption agencies. Florida law specifies that grant funds may support material needs such as clothing, housing, medical care, food, utilities, and transportation, as well as adoption-related counseling, training, or advertising. Funds may not be used by recipient agencies for administrative or legal expenses or capital expenditures. Choose Life, Inc. may use up to 15% of the annual funds for administration and promotion of the plate program.
Examples of grantees’ work include Advocates for Children and Families, whose stated mission prioritizes stable families and permanent homes for children, and Hannah’s Home of South Florida, which describes providing housing, case management, and other support to homeless pregnant women and their babies. Heart of Adoption Alliance says it provides adoption education, resources, and support to families facing an unplanned pregnancy.

In 2023, Choose Life, Inc. reported distributing $544,787 through 28 grants.

The reported 2023 grants also included $8,000 to Women’s Pregnancy Center in Grand Forks, North Dakota. Its 2025 filing, the latest on this page, reports 27 grants totaling $555,304.
Qualified agencies may apply for funds. The organization says it has an application process to verify that applicants qualify under Florida law, and that it conducts site visits and expense-record reviews to monitor recipients’ use of funds. Its filing also states that it seeks to recoup grant funds left unspent at year-end in excess of 10% of the original award. The available application information directs qualified agencies to contact the organization; it does not specify required application materials or a deadline.
