Overview

Mission

WV FREE Action Fund builds grassroots power for West Virginians facing systemic inequities through year-round civic engagement, policy advocacy and education on reproductive health, rights and justice.

What it reported doing in 2025

Seek legal protection at state and national levels guaranteeing reproductive freedom of choice and health care for West Virginians of all ages; broaden the base of active and vocal support for reproductive rights in West Virginia; expand community understanding and awareness of the meaning of reproductive freedom throughout West Virginia; and engage our membership and public during elections.

Operating model

Revenue model
Investment-supported. 100% of the money available for current operations came from recurring investment income.
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 - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Expenses are high relative to revenue and program spending has declined or grown slowly.
