Overview

Mission

To ensure that all people and communities have the power and resources to make sexual and reproductive health decisions with self-determination.

What it reported doing in 2024

Our justice abortion assistance programs provide financial assistance and hotel stays to those seeking abortion care in Minnesota. In our 2025 fiscal year we provided $411,619 in abortion assistance funds for medical care, and $10,381 in hotel stays for those traveling to access care. These funds represent assistance provided to 878 individuals. Additionally, we ran another full funding pilot, where for three months we provided full funding to all clients requesting funds.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 95% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
Distribution model
Hybrid. The nonprofit split its reported program spending across 51% for direct work, and 49% for grants.

The verdict

STRONG - The filed numbers largely add up and a large share of available resources goes toward mission work. Fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised and total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
