About Abortion Care Network
Abortion Care Network’s recent funding centers independent abortion clinics and the infrastructure they need to stay open. In the latest grant data, the largest award was $440,000 to Emw Women’s Surgical Center in Louisville, Kentucky, followed by $197,718 to West Al Women’s Center in Tuscaloosa, Alabama and $179,367 to Clinics for Abortion and Reproductive Excellence LLC in Pueblo, Colorado. The pattern is direct clinic support rather than broad, general-purpose philanthropy: grants are written to provide support for abortion access or to preserve access to abortion care. That focus aligns with the foundation’s stated role in resourcing, connecting, and celebrating independent abortion clinics and their allies. The recipient list includes stand-alone abortion providers, reproductive health centers, and clinic networks in cities such as New York, Atlanta, Casper, and Alexandria. Several clinics appear in more than one year, which points to sustained support for providers facing ongoing pressure to maintain services. Across the recent grants, the foundation’s work is built around preserving abortion access through clinic-level funding, contingency support, and related capacity needs.
What Abortion Care Network Funds
A core theme is direct support for independent clinics that provide abortion care. Examples include $160,000 to Austin Women’s Health Center in Austin, Texas, and $151,940 to Parkmed NYC LLC in New York, New York, both described as support for abortion access. Another strand is preservation funding for clinics under strain: the foundation gave $147,829 to Emma Goldman Clinic in Iowa City, Iowa, and $125,000 to Wellspring Health Accesscircle of Hope in Washington, DC for preserving access to abortion care. The grant list also shows support for clinic resilience in smaller markets, such as $100,000 to Center for Reproductive Health in Memphis, Tennessee. Beyond clinic operating support, Abortion Care Network has active RFPs for a Contingency Planning Consultant and for work tied to its “Liberate Abortion” priorities, both focused on abortion access and independent provider support.
How Abortion Care Network Gives
Typical grants are mid-sized, with a p25 of $20,000, a median of $36,526, and a p75 of $67,286. The recent list also shows a long tail of larger awards above $100,000, especially for clinics facing access-preservation needs. The same grantees recur across years: Wellspring Health Access, Clinics for Abortion and Reproductive Excellence LLC, Affirmative Care Solutions, and West Alabama Women’s Center each appear in multiple grant years, suggesting ongoing relationships rather than one-time awards. Abortion Care Network also accepts unsolicited proposals through RFPs, including a Contingency Planning Consultant RFP and a “Liberate Abortion” RFP. The organization does not fund individuals and does not make program-related investments.
