, said on the call. “Abortion funds are finding ways to make reproductive justice a reality in spite of us being in a state of emergency.”Abortion funds help pay for costs associated with abortion, including money for the procedure or abortion pills. Many funds also help with practical expenses such as gas, flights, accommodation and often child care. In 2023, funds in the NNAF network provided $36 million in funding for abortions and over $10 million in travel and logistical support.
Donations spurred from rage over Dobbs are drying up even as the need for more support increases, with more states enacting abortion bans.supported about 100 patients a month in 2022. By 2023, that grew to 360 patients a month, and now they’re averaging more than 500 patient requests every month ― a 400% increase in two years, as executive director Lexis Dotson-Dufault told reporters earlier this month.
Although there are grants and big-money donors who support abortion funds, they are mostly the exceptions. Funds heavily rely on individual, small-dollar donors from their communities, who often can’t make continued contributions. And despite small upticks in donations when abortion is in the news, the money coming in is not nearly enough to cover the amount that needs to go out.
