The Women’s Medical Fund provides counseling and emergency financial assistance to women living in poverty who need access to abortion services. Brandi Collins-Calhoun, senior movement engagement associate with the National Committee for Responsive Philanthropy, said such funds exist in many states and are playing an increasingly critical role in maintaining access to abortion services.
“They’re funding the practical support for patients,” Collins-Calhoun said. “They’re doing their travel, their lodging and they’re also doing a lot of the direct service work.”
