How to Donate to Support Abortion Access Through NNAF

Updated

The National Network of Abortion Funds (NNAF) accepts donations through its website at abortionfunds.org, with two main options: a one-time gift and a recurring monthly donation. The homepage presents both paths directly — "Donate Today!" for immediate giving and "Become a Monthly Donor" for ongoing support. If your goal is to fund abortion access and you want to choose between one-time and recurring giving, this guide covers what each option does and how to get started.

What Your Donation Supports

NNAF describes itself as a network of nearly 100 abortion funds — grassroots organizations that support people seeking abortion access. The network says it organizes "at the crossroads of racial, economic, and reproductive justice."

That structure matters for donors: when you give to NNAF, you are supporting a national network rather than a single local fund. If you want your money to go to a specific regional fund instead, NNAF's site also lets you search its list of funds directly.

One-Time vs. Monthly Donation

The homepage offers both choices side by side, and the framing is slightly different for each.

Option How NNAF describes it Best if you want to
One-time donation ("Donate Today!") "Protect abortion access. Donate now." Give a single gift without an ongoing commitment
Monthly donation ("Become a Monthly Donor") "Support abortion access all year long!" Provide steady, recurring support

The monthly option is explicitly positioned as year-round support and is tied to "a community of pro-choice advocates and activists." If you're deciding between the two, the practical question is whether you want a one-time contribution or a sustained commitment — NNAF presents monthly giving as the way to support access "all year long."

How to Donate

  1. Go to abortionfunds.org.
  2. Choose your giving path from the homepage: select the "Donate Today!" option for a one-time gift, or "Become a Monthly Donor" for recurring support.
  3. Complete the donation through the site's donation flow.

The homepage does not publish specific dollar amounts, preset giving tiers, or accepted payment methods, so those details are only visible once you enter the donation process itself.

If You Want to Give to a Specific Fund Instead

Donating to NNAF is not the only route. The site's "Need an Abortion?" section includes a searchable list of funds, along with guidance on finding a clinic and understanding Medicaid coverage. You can use that same fund list to identify a local or regional abortion fund and donate to it directly, rather than giving through the national network.

Other Ways to Get Involved

Beyond money, the homepage points to two other entry points:

  • Campaigns — NNAF invites visitors to "join campaigns" alongside donating and finding a fund.
  • Conversation kits — the "Learn How to Talk to People About Abortion" section offers "Heart-to-Heart Conversation Kits" for people who want to advocate in their own circles.

If donating isn't possible right now, these are the alternatives NNAF itself surfaces on its homepage.
