What makes SJPF different from a donor-advised fund?

Unlike a donor-advised fund, SJPF is not a passive giving vehicle. We are an active, mission-driven grant-making foundation that performs deep due diligence on every organization in our portfolio. Donors can recommend grants, but all funds are invested only in pre-vetted, high-impact, pro-life partners that meet our rigorous standards for effectiveness, transparency, and fidelity to mission.

How does SJPF choose which organizations to support?

Our team conducts a comprehensive review of each potential partner, including financial health, leadership integrity, long-term viability, measurable outcomes, and alignment with Catholic teaching. Only organizations demonstrating clear, life-saving impact are approved for our portfolio.

What does “100% Impact / No Fee” really mean?

It means exactly what it says. Thanks to generous benefactors who underwrite our operational costs, every dollar you give goes directly to saving lives through our vetted partners. No administrative fees, no overhead taken out of your gift.

Is SJPF a Catholic organization?

Yes. We are proudly Catholic in identity and moral clarity. All organizations we support must adhere to a pro-life ethic consistent with Catholic teaching. At the same time, we gladly partner with Christian ministries of any denomination that share and uphold these standards.

How does SJPF help ensure my gift is used effectively?

We go far beyond compliance checks. Our team monitors impact data, financial reporting, leadership stability, and program outcomes. We regularly evaluate partners to ensure they remain high-performing and mission-faithful. Donors receive transparent reporting so they can see the fruit of their generosity.

What types of organizations are included in the SJPF portfolio?

Our portfolio includes pregnancy resource centers, maternity homes, adoption services and unique pro-life initiatives and more. Every organization has a proven ability to support mothers, strengthen families, and save lives.

Can I recommend a new organization for consideration?

Absolutely. Donors may suggest organizations for evaluation, and our team will take them through our vetting process. Only those that meet our standards will be added to the portfolio.

What is the minimum gift to become involved?

SJPF’s strategy services are built for major donors, but we meet each donor where they are. We can discuss the giving level that aligns best with your goals and the impact you hope to make.

How does SJPF report impact back to donors?

Donors receive clear, concise updates that highlight measurable outcomes, as well as financial transparency and partner updates. We believe donors deserve to see the full return on their generosity.

How is SJPF funded if you don’t take fees?

Our operations are entirely underwritten by a small group of generous partners committed to making our model possible. Their stewardship allows every donor’s gift to be deployed at 100% impact.
