Overview
This grant will support the National Campaign to Prevent Teen and Unplanned Pregnancy, which operates as Power to Decide, to help ten regional, cross-sectoral teams to implement a suite of policies and interventions that optimize reproductive well-being for people in their communities. The project will be centered on a learning collaborative facilitated by Power to Decide that will support participating teams to: 1) catalyze action and innovation on reproductive well-being among policymakers and providers; 2) implement evidence-informed interventions to support reproductive well-being; and 3) aggregate and share learning from participating communities to inform and scale work in more places.

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)
