Details:
This fund supports two outcomes: 1) Building capacity where abortion care will continue, and 2) working towards local access and protections in areas where it will not.
Housed at the Women Donors Network, grantmaking is guided by a Grantmaking Advisory Council, comprised of activists, leaders, and donors from the reproductive rights/health/justice movements (see link). The Grantmaking Advisory Council considers whether the:

Project/organization is responsive to the moment – meeting immediate needs or critical gaps in the existing abortion access eco-system and/or builds foundational systems and structures required for the medium and long-term.
Project/organization serves and is informed by key communities that are made more vulnerable by Roe’s reversal, centering BIPOC, immigrant, LGBTQIA+, low-income, disabled, young, and other communities.
Leadership of the organization includes BIPOC women, LGBTQIA+ folks, or youth in key leadership positions (ED, senior staff, and board of directors).
Approach prioritizes community determination and is informed by those with lived experiences.
Activities contain elements that might preclude traditional/institutional funding.
Organization is established and trusted within their local or regional movement and/or recommended by a member of the ABC Fund Nominations Network.
