Chicago Abortion Fund
About
In the first three months of 2022, over 80% of our grantees came from out-of-state. We regularly hear from over 500 people a month seeking support accessing care and we return 100% of our calls. We support people through our relationships with over 55 clinics in 7 states across the midwest. We provide funding for appointments, wrap-around and practical supports like gas, lodging, childcare, and food. We support with clinic selection, insurance counseling, and other logistical considerations. We stay with our callers every step of the way.
We continue to see a majority of our callers based outside of Illinois. We support people receiving care in Illinois from all 50 states and will support anyone who calls us with funding, case management, or a connection with their local abortion fund. State borders, bans, and restrictions should not limit one’s access to care – and we strive to break down these barriers. In addition to our commitment to people receiving care in Illinois, we also do case management and practical support provision in partnership with sibling funds around the region.
