The fund plans to offer expecting women a $5,000 scholarship for education costs.

“While plans may shift when the unexpected happens, it doesn’t mean that dreams need to stop completely,” reads the website’s main page. “Inspired by her role as Abby Johnson in the movie ‘Unplanned,’ Ashley Bratcher is partnering with Heartbeat International, the largest pregnancy help network in the world, to offer moms facing unplanned pregnancies educational scholarships so that they can continue pursuing their dreams while raising their babies.”

“Women CAN pursue their careers, live out their dreams, and have richer, more fulfilling lives while balancing motherhood. Sometimes, it just takes a little help,” Bratcher said in a statement. “I wanted to be a part of empowering mothers to chase their dreams and to provide a means for those who chose life to continue their educations.”

Bratcher’s scholarship is working in cooperation with Heartbeat International.

“Working with Heartbeat is an opportunity to direct women to the support that so many of them are seeking,” Bratcher said of the partner group. “Not only will the scholarship financially support the decision of mothers to continue their education, but it will also connect them to an organization that will support them throughout their pregnancy and beyond.”

“Heartbeat International is an organization that represents the essence of all that I believe the pro-life movement should be. Women are supported, empowered, loved, and never judged,” Bratcher concluded.

“Tucked into Unplanned is a vivid reminder that education can present an obstacle to accepting the new life within,” added Jor-El Godsey, president of Heartbeat International. “The Unplanned Movie Scholarship will be a lifeline to a young mom’s future as she makes the brave choice to embrace motherhood.”

Heartbeat International is the world’s largest pro-life pregnancy help network. The group has over 2,700 affiliated locations in more than 60 countries. Its mission is to save as many lives as possible around the world through its advocacy for life-affirming pregnancy assistance.

Unplanned, which tells the true story of Abby Johnson, a former Planned Parenthood manager-turned pro-life activist, was released on DVD on August 13.

We lift to you all Pro life workers for your Kingdom and ask a hedge to be placed around them, that any crooked road before them will be made straight, that the work of their hands will be blessed. We ask for courage for those expectant mothers in a crisis to choose life for their children. We pray that as the miracle of life unfolds in their womb, that they would reflect on you Lord, that they would come to know you and their place in the universe. In Jesus name, Amen

Our Father,
All praise to you for the miracle of new life. Your creativity in creation is just awe inspiring. You are amazing. All praise to you for the movie Unplanned. Thank you for the way you worked in the prayers of your people to bring Abby Johnson to a place of repentance and new spiritual life. Thank you for how you led the makers of this film in regard to the content and the timing. Thank you for placing this specific actress in the film. Thank you for the freedom to have access to this film and for how well it is doing in sales as a DVD. Thank you for the momentum to support these mothers with keeping their children. Thank you for how you are bringing people to pray and to act on behalf of the unborn. Please help your people to continue to rise up. Let there be a huge increase in people who are involved in this battle for life. I pray that we can overturn Roe v. Wade because hearts are being changed as they consider the truth in this film. Strengthen the ones who are in leadership in all aspects- this movement to help women with scholarships, the 40 days for life, the people who organize for each prayer event as well as the march in Washington D.C.

    I think this is great I haven’t seen the movie but from my own personal experience as a young unwed teen my family thought that I should not continue in school but stay home and take care of my child which made things difficult and I finally dropped out many years later I eventually obtained GED at that time there were no programs to assist with continued education even though the desire was there will pray and support any way I can
    God sees God knows God cares
