Overview

Mission

To protect and expand abortion access no matter a person's reason, income, zip code or method.

What it reported doing in 2024

We supported individuals needing abortion access. In fiscal year 2025, we raised 1.47 million, and much of that funding went directly towards abortion access. We provided information, support, and financial assistance to 2,187 people with 1,889 of them using our funding to get abortion care. On average, we pledged 245 per person. Through emergency client appeals (ecas) to our supporters, we were able to raise additional funding to help 35 people with extraordinary needs for high cost abortion care. Without this emergency support, we would have had to turn away more than 166 people on our help line with more typical needs. As is true every year, we served people at the beginning and end of their reproductive age; callers ranged from 12 to 45 years old. The majority of our funding went to people who live in philadelphia, with the following zip codes having the most representation: 19139 19143 19121 19132 19120 19140 19124 19134 19144 19401

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 82% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up and a large share of available resources goes toward mission work. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised.
