A Fund

A Fund, Inc. raises funds to provide financial assistance for women who are unable to pay for abortions.

Our Story:
A Fund, Inc. was founded in 1993 by a handful of Kentucky citizens who became increasingly aware of the severe crisis many low-income women experience when faced with the need to terminate a pregnancy.

This small group established the volunteer- supported A Fund that was incorporated as a 501(c)(3) tax exempt organization. Through the generosity of other like-minded persons, the A Fund is able to help low-income women who are facing an unwanted or problem pregnancy.

How we operate:
The A Fund does not issue funds directly to women. Rather, it sends block grants to cooperating abortion clinics who refer potential fund clients and who then offer account credits to the women who really need financial help to pay for their abortion. See the website KYAFUND.ORG for more information.

In the past, additional non-financial related assistance offered by the A Fund has included:
o finding a translator for a non-English speaking client who must have complex medical terms translated in order to grant informed consent.
o assisting women who did NOT want to terminate a pregnancy but who were being pressured into doing so by a parent or significant other.
o providing transportation to abortion clinics.
o providing temporary housing assistance when traveling from out of town.
