The New York Women’s Foundation recognizes abortion access and reproductive justice as essential to health and well-being. When women, non-binary, and gender-expansive people are able to make informed decisions about their health, access abortion and contraceptives, and receive gender-affirming healthcare, they are better able to advocate on behalf of themselves and their communities.
Our grantmaking in this area is focused on efforts that ensure liberatory reproductive justice futures. The Foundation invests in community-rooted organizations and coalitions working to expand equitable abortion and birth control access, birth justice, bodily autonomy, gender-affirming healthcare, informed consent, and resisting family separation.
In New York City, communities have been on the frontlines of addressing bodily autonomy, birthing and broader reproductive and sexual health inequities. The Foundation invests in community-rooted organizations and coalitions to respond to immediate needs and deepen work around advocacy to achieve health equity.
