Another amazing Fund-a-thon season on the books!
You raised $138,397 this Fund-a-Thon Season!
Every year we set an ambitious goal of raising 100K (or more!). This year, our theme was Funding Abortion in a F*cked Up World because there was no reason to sugar-coat the fact that we are living through very difficult times as a country, a city, as supporters of abortion, and, as people. And yet, this community always finds a way to show up for their neighbors and believe a better world is possible.
$138,397 means:
We could fund 260 callers with our average pledge of $531
We could cover the entire appointment cost for 184 callers
$138,397 could cover abortion care later in pregnancy for 10-15 callers with no time to wait
⭐️ We want to give a huge shout out to our fundraising teams:

And thank you to the My Body, My Festival organizers, artists, and audience who raised a whopping $28,606 for abortion access in DC and beyond.
Every single dollar we raise goes back to our callers because an abortion fund is mutual aid in action. Whether you joined a peer-to-peer fundraising team, came out for the 4th annual Taking it to the Max, partied with us at My Body My Festival or made a donation to our 100K goal, you make our work possible. Thank you for being with us in this f*cked up world.
