About Planned Parenthood Action Fund
Planned Parenthood Action Fund Inc directed a large share of its 2024 grantmaking to organizations working to protect and expand access to reproductive health. The biggest recent award in the record was $2,009,138 to Reproductive Freedom for All in Detroit, Michigan, followed by $1,091,135 to Planned Parenthood Alliance Advocates in Seattle. Those grants sit within a broader pattern of support for state and regional advocacy groups, political action committees, and Planned Parenthood affiliates across the country. The foundation’s recent grants show a consistent emphasis on reproductive rights defense through advocacy, legal and political work, and public organizing. Several recipients appear more than once across 2023 and 2024, including Planned Parenthood Votes Northwest and Hawaii, Planned Parenthood of Greater New York Inc - Action Fund, Planned Parenthood Advocates Mar Monte, and Planned Parenthood Action Pac North Carolina. The recurrence suggests ongoing support for organizations that operate in shifting state policy environments. Its work aligns with a focus on abortion access, birth control, sex education, health care equity, voting rights, and sexual assault prevention and response. The recipients range from statewide advocacy groups in places such as Ohio, Pennsylvania, Virginia, and Minnesota to local and multi-state Planned Parenthood-related organizations in California, New York, and the Pacific Northwest.
