We support your decision to have an abortion. Only you know what is best for your family and future. Prairie Abortion Fund exists to off-set the cost of your appointment by offering grants to people traveling to, from, or within the Upper Midwest for abortion care.
PAF currently funds in-clinic care. We do not offer assistance for virtual or tele-MAB care. Abortion Freedom Fund may be able to assist someone managing their abortion using these services.
We’re in this together
