The Family Planning Services Grant is designed to provide educational, counseling, comprehensive medical and social services essential to help individuals in the process of determining the number and spacing of their children, thereby helping to decrease instances of maternal and infant deaths, and at the same time increase the promotion of the health of mothers, families and children.

The Department of Health and Human Services is the main agency funding the Family Planning Services Grant. The HHS is also the country's primary agency tasked to protect the health of all Americans through the provision of essential human services to everyone, especially to those who are least capable of helping themselves.

The Family Planning Services Grant is essential to the HHS because it is very much in keeping with their agency's objective, which is to ensure the provision of essential human services to all Americans, especially vital family planning services that would help them plan and achieve their desired family situation today and in the future.
