Where to donate

Online info and care: All of the information and consultation websites listed above can receive donations and put them to good use.

Abortion funds help pregnant people pay for part or all of the abortion cost. These are primarily volunteer organizations so close to 100% of donations go to pay for abortions, which are paid for via a pledge sent (email or fax) to the clinic on behalf of a certain person on a certain date. The clinic later invoices the fund for all the pledges received during a given period.

National Network of Abortion Funds, www.abortionfunds.org – 80+ grassroots organizations in 38 states and four countries (mostly US-focused). Funding is provided through donations from business and individuals, and is divided into each of these individual organizations. The NNAF works as an umbrella group to provide networking opportunities between these smaller individual organizations that are typically state-based to raise and divide funds and obtain the necessary technology to be able to directly support women seeking assistance with obtaining an abortion. (from Wikipedia.org)

Go to https://abortionfunds.org/need-abortion/ to see a list of all the funds by state, if you’d like to donate to a local fund.

National Abortion Federation, www.prochoice.org – national professional association of abortion providers. Provides significant funding for abortions via hotline.

Practical support funds help pregnant people access abortion services by providing, paying for or reimbursing for costs related to getting an abortion beyond the abortion service itself, such as transportation, lodging, meals, and childcare. A list of such funds in the US is here https://apiaryps.org/pso-list

Independent clinics – these clinics provide about 2/3 of abortions in the US, and face huge obstacles. https://keepourclinics.org/

Planned Parenthood, plannedparenthood.org  – They provide about a third of all abortions in the US, as well as non-abortion healthcare services. Services are on a sliding scale but anecdotally fund 25% or less of the price of an abortion, then refer patients to other abortion funds, so they aren’t the best place to donate for that purpose. They also do reproductive health policy and sex education work.

Policy organizations – there are a lot of great orgs doing policy and advocacy work on abortion in the US at national, state, and local levels. A couple of big ones:
