Her decision is based on the circumstances of her own life. When money is available, the Fund usually grants or loans up to one-half the cost of an abortion, although in tragic cases more money is often granted. Women who contact the Fund have already decided to have an abortion but are unable to pay for it. An application determines financial need and the woman is asked to pay as much as possible herself. Fund checks are made payable to the clinic or physician, after the abortion has been performed, to make sure the money is used for its intended purpose.
