It’s been six months since the Iowa Supreme Court upheld Iowa’s near-total abortion ban. Since then:
- Abortion funding and practical support from abortion funds outside Iowa increased 222% in 2024 compared to 2023.
- Last year, practical support spending (travel, lodging, childcare) increased 304% from June to July, and increased 181% from June to August—the first full month under the ban.
- The Iowa Abortion Access Fund has seen a 21% increase in Iowans needing help paying for abortions compared to 2021, the year before the Dobbs decision was passed.
That’s a lot of financial burden on our partner organizations and on IAAF.
So, it’s time to rage, resist, and raise $$$.
Our fundraising page for the 2025 Fund-a-thon is now live!
All donations raised from now through the month of May will be matched by the National Network of Abortion Funds. Last year, we raised $30,000, and this year, our goal is even more ambitious: $50,000!
So, please donate.
If you don’t have the funds this year, you can also create your own fundraising page! Our board chair Lyz Lenz, runs a yearly relay across the state of Iowa, and her running team, High Fructose Corn Sweat, just created their own team, you can view their page for inspiration!
You can also help amplify our fundraiser by sharing it on Facebook, Instagram, or the social media platform of your choice.
As always, IAAF, is mutual aid. All of the money we raise goes to clinics across the Midwest to pay for abortions and abortion care.
