Giving to funds and organizations that support abortion access has dropped off following the windfall of gifts made in response to the Supreme Court’s 2022 decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, which overturned Roe v. Wade, the Associated Press reports.

Abortion access groups told the AP that the large emergency grants made in the wake of the Dobbs decision have ended and some major funders of abortion access also have stopped or shifted their funding from organizations working in states where abortion is now banned. Instead, philanthropic support has moved to states like New Mexico that are actively protecting abortion access while neighboring states like Texas and Oklahoma have banned it. Abortion advocates told the AP that funders who are worried about the legal liabilities of funding abortion and reproductive access should offer the organizations general operating support, rather than project-based grants, and accept updates over the phone.

“I think [that] really speaks to kind of a fundamental issue with philanthropy and responding to an emergent crisis,” CHOICES Center for Reproductive Health director of development Holly Calvasina told the AP. “Philanthropy moves really slowly, and human rights crises unfold quickly.”
