Summer Internship Program
National Network Of Abortion Funds
Organization's Mission:
We are the only nationwide organization in the U.S. that combines a commitment to direct financial assistance to women and girls needing abortions with grassroots activism, national organizing and reproductive policy work. NNAF has rapidly grown since its beginnings in 1993 and now includes 97 member funds in 42 states and D.C. This past year, NNAF member funds dispersed over $2 million in grants and loans to more than 18,300 women and girls who lacked resources to pay for abortion services.
While the member funds help individual women, the Network helps the funds do their work. NNAF supports organization building through training in fundraising and organizational development, opportunities for networking, mini-grants for advocacy, and computer technology and other tools. NNAF also supports the development of new abortion funds in underserved areas of the country.
