An abortion fund is a non-profit organization that provides financial and logistical assistance to individuals who cannot afford the costs of an abortion. Abortion funds play a role in financing abortion services in countries where abortion is legal but not accessible. For example, health insurance may not cover abortion or transportation to abortion clinics may be financially or logistically unfeasible. Abortion funds also provide assistance in cities, states, providences or countries where abortion is illegal and women must travel elsewhere to obtain a legal abortion.
