Overview

Mission

The feminem foundation advances equitable reproductive healthcare by providing emergency medicine professionals with education, research, resources, and support to improve patient outcomes and advance women in medicine.

What it reported doing in 2025

Reproductive health education - we developed accessible digital modules that provided real-time clinical guidance and state-specific legal updates, filling a critical training gap left by traditional medical education. This reproductive health education initiative equipped over 200 emergency medicine physicians with the essential knowledge and tools they need to provide timely, evidence-based care for patients experiencing pregnancy-related emergencies. In addition, we are actively working with providers on the ground to expand access to mifepristone for both elective abortion and miscarriage management in states where it remains legally feasible. Recognizing the medication's safety, efficacy, and critical role in comprehensive reproductive care, we are partnering with clinicians, health systems, and legal experts to ensure emergency physicians understand when and how they can prescribe and support its use. By providing clear clinical protocols and up-to-date guidance, we empower providers to offer patients timely, evidence-based options, reducing unnecessary interventions and aligning emergency care with best practices and patient autonomy.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 100% 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 most voting board members are independent. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
