Overview

Mission

The DC Abortion Fund helps pay for the abortion care of anyone living in or traveling to the DC Metro region, without restrictions or requirements. DC is a vital access point for the entire East Coast,

What it reported doing in 2024

DCAF provided funding and services to almost 3,000 abortion seekers in FY25. The DC Abortion Fund fielded over 5000 calls in 2025, and supported 100 people per week access abortion care. DCAF collaborate with other funds to close funding gaps so callers have access to the care they need. DCAF has three full-time case managers and three clinics that offer abortion care at any stage in pregnancy. DCAF provides advocacy and educational resources to protect abortion access in DC and across the country.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 94% 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

STRONG - The filed numbers largely add up and a large share of available resources goes toward mission work. Reported officer compensation is a large share of total spending, which may reflect staffing concentration.
