United for Life Foundation
Let’s support ministries that support life.
The United for Life Foundation provides critical administrative, fundraising and communication services to ministries that support human life. With your help, we can compound their positive impact.
Please consider helping our ministries by making a tax-deductible donation. 90% of your donation goes directly to the ministries we support, and there are people many in crisis situations who need our help.
May God bless you!
How you can help.
When we work together, we save more lives.
By supporting ministries that support human life – whether it’s through giving, purchasing resources, or through supportive prayer – you can help them do even more.
No ministry should be an island.
It’s easy for ministries to get so busy helping others that they forget it’s okay to ask for help too.
Without help, ministry leaders burn out and the impact of the ministry suffers.
It’s why we exist – to foster community, growth, infrastructure health and financial stability to these ministries — so they can focus on vital services instead of office tasks.
