Our mission is to protect the fundamental dignity, equality, and reproductive freedom of individuals in Wyoming and the surrounding region. We work to ensure access to safe, compassionate, and comprehensive abortion and contraceptive care through financial support, education, and advocacy.
Chelsea’s Fund directs its giving toward abortion and contraceptive care for people in Wyoming and the surrounding region, combining direct financial support with litigation and provider support. The fund’s most recent grant on file was a single $474,873 award in 2023 to Circle of Hope Health Care Svcs in Casper, Wyoming for abortion services, which matches the foundation’s focus on helping patients access care and related logistics. Its stated mission centers on protecting dignity, equality, and reproductive freedom, with support that can cover clinic fees, travel, lodging, gas, airfare, childcare, and other related costs. The foundation also uses grantmaking to support education and advocacy tied to reproductive care. Its active programs describe two related channels: one for financial support for abortion and contraceptive services, and another for abortion access and litigation funding. In both cases, the emphasis is on practical access barriers faced by patients in Wyoming and nearby areas, especially those who need help reaching care or covering out-of-pocket expenses. That combination of direct patient aid and legal support defines how Chelsea’s Fund operates.
In abortion access work, Chelsea’s Fund provides direct financial support for abortion and contraceptive services, including clinic fees and related expenses. Its active program description also includes travel, lodging, gas, airfare, and childcare, showing that access barriers are treated as part of the funding need rather than separate issues. The foundation also supports contraceptive services through the same direct-assistance channel. A second active program extends beyond patient aid into litigation and provider support to protect and expand abortion access in Wyoming and the surrounding region. Education and advocacy are part of the mission as well, paired with financial support for people seeking care in and around Wyoming. The geography attached to the programs includes Wyoming and Eastern Idaho, indicating that the funder’s work reaches beyond a single local market while staying tied to the same care pathway.
Chelsea’s Fund’s grant-size profile is flat in the available data: p25, median, and p75 are all $474,873. The latest 990 year on file is 2023, and the recent-grants record shows one grant at that amount. The foundation is a Public Charity, does not fund individuals, and does not make program-related investments. Its active programs show both unsolicited and non-unsolicited funding channels: one program accepts unsolicited requests, while the litigation-focused program does not. The data also points to direct service and emergency-style support rather than a broad portfolio of many distinct award sizes.
