Type of Grant: Grant
Deadline: 07/11/2023
Details:
This fund supports two outcomes:
- Building capacity where abortion care will continue, and
- working towards local access and protections in areas where it will not.
Housed at the Women Donors Network, grantmaking is guided by a Grantmaking Advisory Council, comprised of activists, leaders, and donors from the reproductive rights/health/justice movements . The Grantmaking Advisory Council considers whether the:
- Project/organization is responsive to the moment – meeting immediate needs or critical gaps in the existing abortion access eco-system and/or builds foundational systems and structures required for the medium and long-term.
- Project/organization serves and is informed by key communities that are made more vulnerable by Roe’s reversal, centering BIPOC, immigrant, LGBTQIA+, low-income, disabled, young, and other communities.
- Leadership of the organization includes BIPOC women, LGBTQIA+ folks, or youth in key leadership positions (ED, senior staff, and board of directors).
- Approach prioritizes community determination and is informed by those with lived experiences.
- Activities contain elements that might preclude traditional/institutional funding.
- Organization is established and trusted within their local or regional movement and/or recommended by a member of the ABC Fund Nominations Network.
