As our website excitedly proclaims, a generous donor and long-time friend to the National Network of Abortion Funds has agreed to match your gift dollar for dollar until December 31st.  

This is an incredible opportunity to have double the impact with your generous gift.  But, I also want to take a moment to tell you a bit more about what your gift really means to thousands of women across the country.

At the National Network of Abortion Funds, we talk to women daily. Women who have recently lost their jobs or their homes.  Women who have sold their most precious belongings – in one woman’s case, this even meant selling her stove.  Hundreds of thousands of women every year struggle to come up with the $100 or $350, or even as little as $35, they need to pay for an abortion.  We talk to women who feel like they have nowhere else to turn for help – until they reach us...or an abortion fund in their community.

Unlike any other organization, the National Network of Abortion Funds and our 102 grassroots abortion funds are truly on the frontline casting a wide net to help the most vulnerable women and girls across the country get the abortion care they need and deserve. We also work to educate policymakers to eradicate extreme barriers to abortion access.  With you by our side, we are helping women today while creating change for women tomorrow.

By making a donation to us, you are not only ensuring abortion access for a woman in need today, but you are taking a stand for the right of women and their families to decide when and if to have a child.

I hope you’ll join me in making a gift today.  Remember, all donations will be automatically doubled.  The phones are ringing here and across the country -- women are in need today. Please give what you can.

Thank you, and happy holidays from all of us at the National Network of Abortion Funds!
