Support Local Abortion Funds Working on the Ground

For every $1 USD you give, we’ll send you $1 worth of SEEDS in thanks. 💗

100% of the value of your gift will go to the local abortion funds listed, less any transaction fees charged by third parties like Stripe or the Ethereum cryptonetwork.

Anyone can redeem a SEED to make a Request for Help for themselves, or to aid individuals and groups they want to support. A SEED was redeemed to ask for help on behalf of these local abortion funds.

Funds raised here will be divided evenly among the 40 local abortion funds listed below, and givers will receive SEEDS in thanks. If you would like to give directly to an individual fund rather than doing so through Seeds, please click the provided link to its website.

With excerpts from this article in The Cut:

“If you’re feeling terrified and want to take action, the best thing you can do is donate to an abortion fund: an on-the-ground organization that helps arrange and pay for abortion care for patients who need it. In states where access has been whittled away almost entirely, these funds also help pay for transportation and lodging for patients who have to travel hours, sometimes crossing state lines, just to access health care.

The list of funds below is roughly ordered by how dire the situation in their respective states is, according to the Center for Reproductive Rights’ “What If Roe Fell?” report. Statistics shown are provided by NARAL and the Guttmacher Institute. Of these states, 13 have so-called post-Roe “trigger laws,” which would automatically take effect, outlawing abortion entirely or almost entirely as soon as Roe is struck down.

It should be noted that funds are listed next to the states in which they are based, but many funds help people seeking care from multiple states. If you are interested in finding out where exactly a fund operates, visit its website.

Even with Roe still standing, in every state listed below, access is already incredibly restricted.

40 percent of Nebraska women live in counties with no abortion clinic. Nebraska has a ban on abortions after 20 weeks. The Guttmacher Institute deems it “likely to ban abortion as soon as possible without federal protections in place.”

South Carolina: Carolina Abortion Fund, Access Reproductive Care-Southeast
In 2021, South Carolina’s governor signed a six-week ban into effect, which was subsequently blocked by the courts. In Roe’s absence, the law would make most abortions illegal throughout the state.

Iowa: Iowa Abortion Access Fund
Iowa has passed legislation banning abortion as early as six weeks, with only a few narrow exceptions. A court struck down that law after the state Supreme Court issued a ruling protecting abortion rights in 2018, but Republican lawmakers are working to advance an amendment saying the state constitution does not allow those protections.
