Power to Decide

Power to Decide envisions a world where everyone — no matter who they are or where they live — has control over their bodies and can decide if, when, and under what circumstances to get pregnant and have a child. Its mission is to advance sexual and reproductive well-being for all. The organization accomplishes this by providing trusted information, expanding access to quality services, and catalyzing culture change. (Strategy: U.S. Reproductive Equity)

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)

Power to Decide, also known as the National Campaign to Prevent Teen and Unplanned Pregnancy, provides trusted sources of information and research-based solutions related to unplanned pregnancy, contraception, healthy relationships, and other topics via its websites, the press, entertainment industry, and key influencers. Power to Decide works to advance policies that guarantee equitable access to reproductive health information and services, and is currently expanding efforts to promote holistic reproductive well-being both nationally and locally through an initiative that is building capacity across multiple health and social sectors to improve reproductive health.
