Overview
This grant will support the organizational priorities of the National Campaign. During the grant period, the National Campaign will carry out initiatives designed to help young people decide if, when, and under what circumstances to get pregnant. When young people get pregnant on their own terms, they face fewer challenges in achieving educational and career goals, they are better prepared for parenthood, and their children’s life trajectories may improve. The campaign works toward its outcomes through a coordinated, multifaceted approach that includes strategic communications, advocacy, capacity building, and convening.

Grants to this Grantee
for building funding mechanisms on abortionfinder.org/navigate.org
This grant will support Power to Decide to explore whether it is feasible and desirable to add an abortion funding mechanism to its abortionfinder.org or patient navigator platforms. Abortion seekers and the people who help them navigate how to access abortion use these sites to identify providers, transportation options, and financial support. Currently, financial assistance is not available directly through the sites. This project is responding to expressed interest in streamlining the process for abortion seekers by making funding available through these sites. (Strategy: U.S. Reproductive Equity)
