About National Network of Abortion Funds
National Network of Abortion Funds Inc. directs large-scale grantmaking to abortion funds that remove financial and logistical barriers to care. The biggest recent awards in the file go to Access Reproductive Care - Southeast, DCAF, Baltimore Abortion Fund, Carolina Abortion Fund, and Richmond Reproductive Freedom Project, all for abortion assistance. That pattern shows a funder working through member funds rather than individuals, using grants to support direct help for abortion seekers and the local organizations that connect them to care. The foundation’s structure and program mix point to a network model. It operates the Collective Power Fund, which pools donations and distributes money strategically to abortion funds, and also runs NNAF Grants and related grantmaking programs for member funds. Technical Assistance support is part of the same system, with one-to-one coaching, trainings, templates, toolkits, and help from external consultants when needed. Its stated focus areas include abortion access, financial and logistical assistance for seekers, self-managed abortion resources and education, leadership development for movement organizers, and technical assistance for local funds. The portfolio is built around abortion funds and reproductive justice infrastructure, not individual grants.
