Most help women only in a limited geographic area, but some help women all over the country. In most cases, women raise a significant portion of the abortion cost themselves, and the abortion fund makes up the difference. Some funds give these subsidies outright. Others give them as loans, which the women pay back if and when they are able. Much still needs to be done.
Most funds survive on donations from individuals and some private foundations.
Ultimately, charity is not the solution. No abortion fund has yet been able to meet the entire need for funding in its community. Despite our efforts, we estimate that we are able to help only one in four women in need across the country. To find the fund nearest you, click on a location on the map or search the list by state.
