Pharmacy Access Partnership made a committed investment in promoting expanded access to EC at the state and national levels. Through generous funding support from the Hewlett Foundation, Pharmacy Access Partnership created the States Take Action Toward EC Services (STATES) Re-granting Program to provide direct financial support to stimulate emergent efforts at the individual state level. Through a competitive application process, Pharmacy Access Partnership selected seven outstanding proposals (from a total of 24 applications) to receive funds ($5,000 to $20,000) for focused short-term efforts: March – October 2006. Organizational grantees selected for funding – Planned Parenthood of Delaware; Healthy Mothers Healthy Babies Coalition of Hawaii; ACLU of Illinois; Pro-Choice Massachusetts Foundation; ACLU of Mississippi; Planned Parenthood of Northern New England (New Hampshire and Vermont) – clearly identified their potential to: (1) effectively leverage momentum achieved by current or past state level activity or (2) initiate new engagement among a cross-section of stakeholders in states where little activity has occurred. Selected grantees effectively proposed efforts to include and increase the commitment of pharmacy stakeholders to address EC, thereby increasing the number of pharmacies and pharmacists that provide EC.
