About Us
Founded in 2001, the New York Abortion Access Fund supports New Yorkers, and people traveling to New York State, access abortion care through financial assistance, case management, and connections to other resources.
NYAAF operates a volunteer-managed helpline that fields calls in English and Spanish. Our volunteer case managers provide compassionate support to people facing barriers, misinformation, and stigma, and move funds directly to ensure they can access the care they need and deserve.
Following the Supreme Court ruling to overturn Roe v. Wade, more people than ever are traveling to New York to access the abortion care they need. However, more than half of our callers remain resident New Yorkers, because while New York is much more abortion friendly than other states, many barriers still exist here. NYAAF directly fills the gaps created by these barriers and has made abortion access a reality for thousands of callers in New York and across the country.
Since the overturn of Roe in June 2022, NYAAF has supported callers from 32 states and 13 countries.
In 2023, we pledged 1.8 million dollars to directly pay for abortions—the highest annual amount in our history–and supported 1800 callers from across the country and beyond.
